Answer:
Therefore the Dimensions are
Length =18 inches and Width = 2 inches
OR
Length =2 inches and Width = 18 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the Width of rectangle be 'W' inches.
The length of a rectangle be 'L' inches.
Area of rectangle given is 36 square inches.
Perimeter of Rectangle is 40 inches.
To Find:
Length = L = ?
Width = W = ?
Solution:
Perimeter of Rectangle is given as
Substituting we get
We have area of rectangle given as
Substituting the given values we get
Which is a Quadratic Equation, So by Splitting the middle term we get
Therefore the Length will be
Therefore the Dimensions are
Length =18 inches and Width = 2 inches
OR
Length =2 inches and Width = 18 inches
