This is a Quant comparison question:
Rectangular region R has width 8 and perimeter 40.
a. The Area of R b.256
my answer: (B)
reasoning: 8+8+x+x = 40
x = 12 ===> 12*8 < 256
Books answer: (C)
How is the answer C?
width != perimeter.
okay, how would you solve it?
your explanation isn’t exactly a solution
OK for some reason I misread the problem. Answer is indeed B, are you looking at the wrong answer key by chance?
