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

<span>What is a step u can take toward committing to a career path? 
Although letter B is not a WRONG answer, I think the more appropriate answer is letter A. learn what type of education to pursue for your chosen field</span>

 

For example, I have no idea what course to pursue but wanted something in the field of art. So I researched what courses are available in this field. If I had gone with letter B. Talk to parents, they would have told me to become a doctor or engineer, which is not bad in itself except I have zero interest in becoming any of those professions.
