b) 2 inches by 18 inches
c) 3 inches by 12 inches
d) 9 inches by 4 inches

Respuesta :

Answer:

9 inches and 4 inches

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

[tex]A=w\times h[/tex]

To find the answer we substitute the values of each option in till we find the answer that doesn't equal 36 square units, since the question already gives us the area of the rectangle.

Option A:
[tex]A=w\times h[/tex]
[tex]A=4\times8[/tex]
[tex]4\times8=32[/tex]
[tex]=32[/tex]
[tex]32 > 36[/tex]

Your answer is option A or "4 inches by 8 inches."

Hope this helps.
