A rectangle has area $A\text{ cm}^2$ and perimeter $P\text{ cm}$, where $A$ and $P$ are positive integers. Which of the following numbers cannot equal $A+P$?
一个长方形的面积为 $A\text{ cm}^2$,周长为 $P\text{ cm}$,其中 $A$ 和 $P$ 为正整数。下列哪些数不可能等于 $A+P$?
(A) 100 100
(B) 102 102
(C) 104 104
(D) 106 106
(E) 108 108
Answer
Correct choice: (B)
正确答案:(B)
Solution
Answer (B): Let $x$ and $y$ be the lengths of the sides of the rectangle. Then $A+P=xy+2x+2y=(x+2)(y+2)-4$, so $A+P+4$ must be the product of two factors, each of which is greater than $2$. Because the only factorization of $102+4=106$ into two factors greater than $1$ is $2\cdot53$, $A+P$ cannot equal $102$. Because $100+4=104=4\cdot26$, $104+4=108=3\cdot36$, $106+4=110=5\cdot22$, and $108+4=112=4\cdot28$, the other choices equal $A+P$ for rectangles with dimensions $2\times24$, $1\times34$, $3\times20$, and $2\times26$, respectively.
答案 (B):设 $x$ 和 $y$ 为矩形两边的长度。则 $A+P=xy+2x+2y=(x+2)(y+2)-4$,所以 $A+P+4$ 必须能表示为两个因子的乘积,且每个因子都大于 $2$。由于 $102+4=106$ 分解成两个大于 $1$ 的因子的唯一方式是 $2\cdot53$,因此 $A+P$ 不可能等于 $102$。因为 $100+4=104=4\cdot26$,$104+4=108=3\cdot36$,$106+4=110=5\cdot22$,以及 $108+4=112=4\cdot28$,其余选项分别对应边长为 $2\times24$、$1\times34$、$3\times20$ 和 $2\times26$ 的矩形的 $A+P$。
