Question 1196090
Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 19 ft wide and 30 ft long. She wants to leave a uniform strip of floor around the rug. She can afford to buy 476 square feet of carpeting. What dimensions should the rug ​have?

s = strip width
(19-s)*(30-s) = area of rug = 476
476 = 17*28
