The width of a rectangle is 12 units. can the perimeter x of the rectangle can be 60 units when its length y is 18 units?

Sentence-Correction: The width of a rectangle is 12 units. Can the perimeter x of the rectangle be 60 units when its length y is 18 units?

A) No, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 18 because x + y is less than 60

B) No, the rectangle cannot have x = 60 and y = 18 because x + y is less than 24

C) Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 18 because x = 12 + 2y

D) Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 18 because x = 24 + 2y

The answer is D) Yes, the rectangle can have x = 60 and y = 18 because x = 24 + 2y
