Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 38 inches, and its area is 70 square inches. Find the length and width of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Let's list the factors of 70

1,2,5,7,10,14,35,70.

So 1 and 70 doesn't work since the perimeter is 142. 2 and 35 don't work since it adds up to 74. 5 and 14 work though since the perimeter would equal 38.

So the length and width would be 5 and 14 :D
