Alright, so if the uniform strip is x feet long, (1313-x) represents the width of the rug and 2222-x represents the length of the rug (given that the uniform strip is uniform all around the room) due to that the difference between the length of the room and the uniform strip is the rug because there is nothing else on the floor. 

Since the area is 112112 square feet, we get that (1313-x) *(2222-x) is the area of the rug which equals 112112. Multiplying it out, we get 
x^2-2222x-1313x+(1313*2222)=112112. Next, we get
x^2-3535x+2917486=112112, and we subtract 112112 from both sides to get x^2-3535x+2805374=0. Using the quadratic formula, we get 
(3535+-sqrt(3535^2-4*2805374))/2=either around 2332 or 1203. Since it can't be 2332 due to that 1313 is less than that and the rug cannot be negative in width, we get 1203 as the uniform width. 

The dimensions of the rug are 1313-1203=around 110 as the width and 2222-1203=around 119 feet

The solid line indicates that the line itself is included in the solutions.  That the shaded area is to the left, or under, the line means that y≤the line.

To find the equation of the line you first find the slope or m using any two points.

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)  in this case you are given (2,-5) and (-2, 3) so

m=(3--5)/(-2-2)

m=8/-4

m=-2

So far for y≤mx+b we have:

y=-2x+b  using either point we can solve for b, I'll use (2,-5)

-5=-2(2)+b

-5=-4+b

-1=b

So the line is:

y=-2x-1  and since y≤ the line:

y≤-2x-1

Phoenix [80]

We know, volume of rectangular prism is given by :

V = lbh\\\\V=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 2\ ft^2\\\\V=2\ ft^2

Volume of cubic box :

v=a^3\\\\v=(\dfrac{1}{2})^3\ ft^3\\\\v=\dfrac{1}{8}\ ft^3

Number of cubes can be filled :

N=\dfrac{V}{v}\\\\N=\dfrac{2}{\dfrac{1}{8}}\\\\N=16

Therefore, 16 cubes can be put in the bin.

Hence, this is the required solution.
