A rectangle having integer length and width has a perimeter of 100 units. What is the number of square units in the least possible area?
P=2[1 + L] =100
P=2 + 2L =100
2L =100 - 2=98 divide both sides by 2
L =98/2
L=49, so we have:
Width = 1 unit
Length =49 units
Area = 1 x 49 =49 square units.
answer is 49
