Question 235487: Question is Area = 35sq ft and Perimeter = 27 ft. Solve for Length in the Perimeter. I have P = 2(W) x 2(L) and that would be 27= 2(W)x 2(L) and then move 2(W) to the other side so 27-2(W) = 2(L) then divide both by 2. 27-2(W)/2 = L. But I can't figure it out. Nothing makes 35sq ftof area and 27 feet in a perimeter. My only options as I see it are 35 and 1 or 7 and 5. Someone please help me figure this out.
