    A. 1 inch by 5 inches

    B. 3 inches by 3 inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the sides of the rectangle. The perimeter of a rectangle can be represented mathematically as

    perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

    where

    l = length

    w = width

    perimeter = 12 inches

    perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

    12 = 2 (l + w)

    divide both sides by 2

    l + w = 12/2

    l + w = 6

    Base on the option the dimension can only be 1 inches by 5 inches because the sum can give 6.

    Square

    The perimeter of the square is 12 inches.

    perimeter of a square = 4l

    where

    l = length

    12 = 4l

    divide both sides by 4

    l = 12/4

    l = 3 inches

    The length should be 3 inches by 3 inches.
