The true statement about the rectangle is A. If w is 12 inches, then l is 10 inches
How to determine the true statement?
The given parameters are:
- Perimeter, P = 44
- Area = 120 (at most)
The perimeter of a rectangle is:
P = 2(L + W)
So, we have:
2(L + W) = 44
Divide by 2
L + W = 22
The area is calculated as:
A = LW
This gives
LW = 120
Express 120 as 12 * 10 and 10 * 12
LW =12 * 10 or LW = 10 * 12
By comparison, we have:
L = 12 and W = 10 or L = 10 and W = 12
When these values are substituted in L + W = 22, we have:
10 + 12 = 22 and 12 + 10 =22
This means that the dimensions of the rectangle are 10 by 12 inches or 12 by 10 inches
Hence, the true statement is A. If w is 12 inches, then l is 10 inches
