You can put this solution on YOUR website! Make a table of all possible whole-number values for the length and width oa a rectangle with a perimeter of 24 meters.
---------
Perimeter = 2(length + width)=24
Divide both sides by 2 to get:
length + width =12
length can be 1, then width = 11
length can be 2, then width = 10
length can be 3, then width = 9
etc.
...
length can be 11, then width = 1
Got it Dad?
Cheers,

You can put this solution on YOUR website! well, since you need it really fast, i'll give the answer to you real quick. well, you have to match the first number of the lenth to the first number of the width. for me, i made a table of possibilities of th length and width.
Lenth / Width
--------------
1 / 11
2 / 10
3 / 9
4 / 8
5 / 7
there is a possibility of 6 and 6, but it does not work. it does not work because in your problem states that the shape is a rectangle. if it is 6 on every side then it is a square so it cannot be 6 and 6. i hope that answers your question
