Question 932124
a rectangle has an area of 36 inches squared cm2 and a perimeter of 54 cm 2. find the dimensions
-------------
Is it inches or cm?
The perimeter is not sq cm, just cm.
----
Assuming the units match:
L*W = 36
2L + 2W = 54 --> L + W = 27
---
L*W = 36
W*(27-W) = 36
W^2 - 27W + 36 = 0

==========================
W is one solution, L is the other.
