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

X2 - 25 = 0
Add 25 on each side.
x2 = 25
Divide by 2 on each side.
x = 12.5
Answer:
Solution : (15, - 11)
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to solve this problem using a matrix, so it would be wise to apply Gaussian elimination. Doing so we can start by writing out the matrix of the coefficients, and the solutions ( - 5 and - 2 ) --- ( 1 )

Now let's begin by canceling the leading coefficient in each row, reaching row echelon form, as we desire --- ( 2 )
Row Echelon Form :

Step # 1 : Swap the first and second matrix rows,

Step # 2 : Cancel leading coefficient in row 2 through
,

Now we can continue canceling the leading coefficient in each row, and finally reach the following matrix.

As you can see our solution is x = 15, y = - 11 or (15, - 11).
