Answer:
length is 78
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of rectangle is P = 2 (l +w)
278 = 2(l + 61)
l = 78
Let one integer be x, the consecutive odd integer is x+2
reciprocals are 1/x and 1/(x+2)
1/x +1/(x+2)=24/143
make the denominators the same:
(x+2)/[x(x+2)] +x/[x(x+2)]=24/143
143(2x+2)=24(x)(x+2)
286x+286=24x²+48x
24x²-238x-286=0
use the quadratic formula: x=22 this doesn't work because 22 is not an odd number.
or x=-2.1666666666 (this is not an integer)
weird.

Answer:
59.15 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Heron's formula
semiperimeter , s = 1/2 ( 28.8+18+12) = 29.4
Area = sqrt ( 29.4(29.4-28.8)(29.4-18)(29.4-12) ) = 59.15 in^2
