Answer:
The dimensions of the work area are 16 ft by 36 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the length of the work area in feet
y-----> the width of the work area in feet
we know that
The perimeter of the work area is equal to

simplify
----> equation A
The area of the work area is equal to
---> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B
solve the quadratic equation by graphing
using a graphing tool
The solutions are
x=16 ft, y=36 ft
or
x=36 ft, y=16 ft
see the attached figure
therefore
The dimensions of the work area are 16 ft by 36 ft

The expression which represents the perimeter P of the rectangle as a function of L is:

<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
The length and width of a rectangle are denoted by L and W respectively.
Also the diagonal of a rectangle is: 10 inches.
We know that the diagonal of a rectangle in terms of L and W are given by:

( Since, the diagonal of a rectangle act as a hypotenuse of the right angled triangle and we use the Pythagorean Theorem )
Hence, we have:

But we know that width can't be negative. It has to be greater than 0.
Hence, we have:

Now, we know that the Perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

Here we have:

56 ounces are 3.5 pounds because 16 ounces are 1 pound and if you divide 56 by 16 you get 3.5
7*y - 5*(4-2y) = 7y - 20 +10y = 17y-20 = 31,
y =3, x = -2.
