Arectangle has a perimeter of 72 ft the side lengths are whole numbers what is the area

Minimum area is : 1 * 35 = 35

Maximum area is : 19 * 17 = 323

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameter (P) of rectangle is calculated using:

P = 2(a+b)

We are given that,

P = 72

=> 2(a+b) = 72

=> a+b = 36

In rectangle, the lengths of both sides are different and a whole number (as mentioned in question), Therefore, the length of smaller side a can be varied from 1 to 17. Similarly, the length of larger side varies from 19 to 35.

The area can be easily calculated using a*b.

Minimum area is : 1 * 35 = 35

Maximum area is : 19 * 17 = 323

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
