The length of a rectangle is 5 cm more than the width and the perimeter is at least 61cm. What are the smallest possible dimensions for the rectangle? (Hint: Perimeter = 2L +2W) Explanation pleas

I think the length is 17.75cm and the width is 12.75 cm

I'm not entirely sure whether it's the smallest possible length but it works on the calculator

17.75*2+12.75*2=61

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
