Answer :
Answer – Option B
The best strategy is to list all the possible whole-number combinations of length and width that would give an area of 60 square feet (using the factors of 60). Having made the list, calculate the perimeter of each rectangle, using a pattern that would decrease the number of calculations you have to make. The combination with the least perimeter is the answer.
SHOWING
Possible Combinations
1 and 60 [Perimeter will be 122]
2 and 30 [Perimeter will 64]
3 and 20 [Perimeter will be 46]
4 and 15 [Perimeter will be 38]
5 and 12 [Perimeter will be 34]
6 and 10 [Perimeter will be 32]
The best dimensions with whole number is 6 feet by 10 feet.
