Answer:

6 feet long and 5 feet wide.

Explanation:

Given that the formula for area is:

A=Length x Width

And perimeter is:

P= 2L + 2W

We know area is 30 and perimeter is 22, so our equations are:

30= L * W

22 = 2L + 2W

To solve as a system of equations, lets isolate L on the second equation.

22 = 2L + 2W

22 - 2W = 2L

Divide both sides by 2

11 - W = L

Inserting it into the first equation

30 = (11 - W) W

30 = 11W - W²

This looks like a quadratic, so let's bring everything to the left side and factor.

W² - 11W + 30 = 0

(W - 6) (W - 5)=0

W= 6 or W= 5

Insert both of these into 30 = L*W to find L

30 = 6L

L= 5 when W = 6

or 30 =5L

L= 6 when W = 5

Hence, the mirror is 6 feet long and 5 feet wide.

Why did tensions develop between Great Britain and China in the mid-19th century?
Dominik [7]
<span> <span>There was a lot of tension between Great Britain and China due to the opium trade of British merchants and the Chinese of the Qing dynasty. Since the British needed Chinese goods but did not have enough silver for trading, they decided to exchange Chinese goods for opium instead. Because of the opium trade, there were many Chinese who became addicted to the substance. This lead to a high number of unstable individuals in China. This lead to the Chinese revolting against the British merchants. This, in turn, lead to the opium war. </span> </span>
