Answer:
To find the area of she shaded part we first need to find the total of the area.
L x W
8 x 5 = 40 is the total area
Now we need to find the area of the non - shaded part
Since it is a square all sides are equal the short lines sticking from the sides indicate that
2 x 2 = 4
Now we subtract the total area from the non shaded area.
40 - 4 = 36
A) x * y = 42 (or x = 42/y)
B) x + y = 23
B) 42/y + y = 23
42 + y^2 = 23y
y^2 -23y + 42 = 0
The numbers are 21 and 2
