Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of rectangle = 208 m
2*(l + w) = 208 {divide both sides by 2}
l +w = 208/2
l +w = 104
l = 104 - w
Area of rectangle = 2415 square meters
l*w = 2415
Substitute l = 104 - w in the above equation,
(104 - w ) *w = 2415
104w - w² = 2415
0 = 2415 - 104w + w²
w² - 104w + 2415 = 0
Sum = -104
Product = 2415
Factors = (-69) , (-35)
w² - 35w - 69w + (-69)*(-35) = 0
w(w - 35) - 69(w - 35) = 0
(w -35)(w -69)
w - 35 = 0 ; w -69 = 0
w = 35 ; w = 69
The dimensions of the building: 35 , 69
