The area of a rectangle is 352 sq in. The measure of each of the shorter sides equals the perimeter of a square with 4 in sides. What is the measure of each of the longer sides of the rectangle.
***
let x=length of rectangle
perimeter of a square with 4 in sides=4*4=16
width of rectangle=16
length*width=area
16x=352
x=22
measure of each of the longer sides of the rectangle=22 in
