To find the length and width of 3 different rectangles that have an area of 48 square inches, you can use the factor pairs that result in 48.
The reason is that to find the area of a rectangle you multiply two dimensions.
2 in x 12 in
3 in x 8 in
4 in x 6 in
On all these either one could be the length and the other the width.
So we have lengths a and b and are given:
2a+2b = 66 => a+b = 33 => a= 33-b
a*b = 272
plug in one into the other:
(33-b)b = 272 => -b^2 +33b - 272 = 0
Can be factored as (b-16)(b-17) = 0, if you don't "see" this immediately, use the well known abc formula to find b.
So a=16 and b=17 or vice versa.
You are X, if your friend is 1.2 times taller than you= 1.2X
That's why 64.5=1.2X
X=53.75
But you should write 53.8 inches tall. Because there is one number after point.
<span>As a result, you are 53.8 inches tall

The surface area of the cube with a side length of 2 units is 24 units squared
<h3>How to determine the surface area?</h3>
The side length of the cube is given as:
l = 2
The surface area is calculated as:
Surface area = 6l^2
This gives
Surface area = 6 *2^2
Evaluate
Surface area = 24
Hence, the surface area of the cube is 24 unit squared
