You can put this solution on YOUR website! The perimeter of a rectangle is 44 inches and its area is 112 square inches. Find the length and width of the rectangel.
-----
Area = LW = 112
L = 112/W
------------------
Perimeter = 2(L+W)
44 = 2((112/W) + W)
22 = (112/W) + W
W^2 - 22W + 112 = 0
(W-14)(W-8) = 0
If W = 14, L= 8.
If W = 8, L = 14
