Answer:

The possibilities of length and width of the rectangle are

x=1, y=0.24;

x=0.5, y=0.48;

x=0.25, y=0.96;

x=2, y=0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the area is 0.24 square meter

The area of a rectangle is given by

[tex]Area=length\times width[/tex] square units

Let x be the length and y be the width.

Since the area is 0.24 square meter, we have the equation:

[tex]Area=x\times y = 0.24[/tex], with x and y measures in meters

If we want to know some possibilities of x and y, we can assume a value for one of them, and then calculate the other one using the equation.

Now choosing some values for "x", we have:

Put x = 1

[tex]1\times y = 0.24[/tex]

∴ y = 0.24

Now put x = 0.5 we get

[tex]0.5\times y = 0.24[/tex]

∴ y = 0.48

Put  x = 0.25

[tex]0.25\times y = 0.24[/tex]

∴ y = 0.96

Put x = 2

[tex]2\times y = 0.24[/tex]

∴ y = 0.12
