Perimeter = 2(L + W) = 20 or L + W = 10

And Area = L x W = 24

So with have the SUM "S" of 2 numbers and te PRODUCT "P' of same numbers, then

we can apply te quadratic equation X² -SX + P

X² - 10X + 24 = 0, solve this equation and you'll find L = 6 in and W = 4in

 or 4 in x 6 in

The Assessment Test asked, "Do I feel disappointed when my achievements go unnoticed?" Do I Agree or Disagree?
Romashka [77]
I would disagree.
It is not always important to be noticed, because you don't have to depend on other people's approval. If you are satisfied with your accomplishments, why does it matter if someone else is going to praise you for them or not? You should be happy, regardless of other people's opinions and thoughts.
