This perimeter y could be 2x%2B2%2A2, so that one dimension is x and the other dimension is 2. To DRAW this, just draw a rectangle, and label one of the dimensions as "x" and the other dimension as "2".

Could perimeter be equal to 3?
2x%2B4=3
2x=-1
x=-1%2F2

NO. The perimeter for this rectangle can NOT be 3.
Both dimensions must be real numbers greater than zero.
