One side of a rectangle is 12 inches and the other is x inches. What values of x will make the perimeter at the most 44 inches?

Answer provided by our tutors

Side of a rectangle = 12

other side = x

perimeter = 2*(length + breadth)

 

=> perimeter <= 44 =>

2*(12+x)<= 44 =>

24 + 2x <= 44 => 2x <= 20 => x <= 10
