ANSWER
72 square feet
EXPLANATION
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
P= 2l+2w
It was given that, the perimeter of the rectangular mat, is 36 feet.
36= 2l+2w
Divide through by 2.
It was given also that, the length of the mat is twice its width.
This implies that,
Put equation (2) into equation (1) to get,
This means that the length is 12 ft.
The area of the rectangular mat is
72 square feet

Ooh, fun
what I would do is to make it a piecewise function where the absolute value becomse 0
because if you graphed y=x^2+x-12, some part of the garph would be under the line
with y=|x^2+x-12|, that part under the line is flipped up
so we need to find that flipping point which is at y=0
solve x^2+x-12=0
(x-3)(x+4)=0
at x=-4 and x=3 are the flipping points
we have 2 functions, the regular and flipped one
the regular, we will call f(x), it is f(x)=x^2+x-12
the flipped one, we call g(x), it is g(x)=-(x^2+x-12) or -x^2-x+12
so we do the integeral of f(x) from x=5 to x=-4, plus the integral of g(x) from x=-4 to x=3, plus the integral of f(x) from x=3 to x=5
