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.

<h2>
Answer:</h2><h2>
The correct option is d. (i) and (ii)</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The total miles covered per day = 45
No of commuting days in a week = 5
Total miles in a week = 45 * 5 = 225
The total amount spent on gasoline = $ 38
Cost of gasoline per gallon = $ 2.48
The number of gallons consumed per week = = 15.32 gallons of gasoline per week.
This confirms (ii) statement
The amount spend on gasoline per mile = = $0.17
This confirms (i) statement
The number of miles per gallon of gasoline = = 14.68 miles
The statement (iii) is false.
Answer:
17 and 38
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 55......x = 55 - y
x * y = 646
y(55 - y) = 646
55y - y^2 = 646
y^2 - 55y + 646 = 0
(y - 17)(y - 38) = 0
y - 17 = 0 y - 38 = 0
y = 17 y = 38
ur numbers are 17 and 38
