Answer:
80 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The given information lets you write two equations involving length (x) and width (y).
- 2(x +y) = 36 . . . . the perimeter is 36 m
- (x+1)(y+2) -xy = 30 . . . . increasing the length and width increases area
The second of these equations simplifies to another linear equation, giving a system of linear equations easily solved.
xy +y +2x + 2 -xy = 30
2x +y = 28 . . . . . . . subtract 2
Dividing the first equation by 2 gives
x +y = 18
and subtracting this from the above equation gives ...
(2x +y) -(x +y) = 28 -18
x = 10
Then
y = 18 -10 = 8
The area of the original rectangle is xy = 10·8 = 80 m^2.

Why nonlinear?</h3>
As described in the question, Pauley graphs the change in temperature of a glass of hot tea over time. He sees that the function appears to decrease quickly at first, then decrease more slowly as time passes. It is linear because the graph decreases over time. It is linear because there is both an independent and a dependent variable but it doesn't satisfies one condition of being linear. Thus, It's Nonlinear because linear functions are increasing functions. It is nonlinear because linear functions increase or decrease at the same rate.
