XY=11,200
2X+Y=300 OR Y=300-2X
X(300-2X)=11,200
300X-2X^2=11,200
2X^2-300X+11,200=0
2(X^2-150X+5,600)=0
2(X-70)(X-80)=0
X-70=0
X=70 FOR THE TWO SHORT SIDE
2*70+Y=300
140+Y=300
Y=300-140
Y=160 THE SINGLE LONG SIDE.
PROOF:
70*160=11,200
11.200
OR:
X-80=0
X=80 FOR THE TWO SHORT SIDES.
2*80+Y=300
160=Y=300
Y=300-160
X=140 FOR THE SINGLE LONG SIDE.
PROOF:
80*140=11,200
11,200=11,200
