Answer:

The rectangle is 16*18

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is length * width and the perimeter is 2 times length * width

A = l*w

P = 2(l+w)

Replacing A and P

288 = l*w

68 = 2(l+w) => 34 = l+w => 34 - w = l

replacing l in the area

288 = (34 - w) w

w^2 - 34w + 288 = 0

(w - 16)(w - 18)

w = 16

w = 18

replacing in 34 - w = l

you get that when w = 16, l = 18 and when w = 18, l = 16
