The area of a rectangle is 15 square centimeters and the perimeter is 16 square centimeters. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?  Select the correct option:
A) 2&4
B) 3&5
C) 4&6
D) 5&7
E) 6&8
Let x and y be the length and width of the rectangle. Using the formulas for the area and the perimeter, we can write two equations.   15 = x y and 16 = 2 x + 2 y   Solve the second equation for x   x = 8 - y   Substitute x in the equation 15 = x y by 8 - y to rewrite the equation as   15 = (8 - y) y   Solve for y to find   y = 3 and y = 5   Use x = 8 - y to find x   when y = 3 , x = 5 and when y = 5 , x = 3.   The dimensions of the rectangle are 3 and 5.   correct answer 3&amp;5
