<PRE><B>Question 1035722</B>
let l be length and w be width, then
:
2l + 2w = 152
:
divide both sides of = by 2
:
l + w = 76
:
this tells us that the length and width must add up to 76
:
for example,
:
l = 40, w = 36
:
l = 50, w = 26
:
l = 60, w = 16
:
note that l = 38 and w = 38 is also a rectangle because
:
all squares are rectangles but all rectangles are not squares   :-)
