Step-by-step explanation:
Answer.....15ft by 12ft
Explanation:
Area = Length × Width
180 = LW....make W the subject of formula
;W = 180/L
Perimeter = 2L + 2W
54 = 2L + 2(180/L)...sub W with the formula above...
then simplify the equation and obtain...
2L^2 - 27L + 180 = 0....then solve using the quadratic formula....then obtain..
;L = 15ft....after obtaining L = 15...then substitute into the W = 180/L equation...
where W = 180/15 = 12ft
there you have...Length = 15ft and Width = 12ft
Let 
be the two numbers. We have two pieces of information:
(the difference between the two numbers is 2)
(their product is 224)
From the first equation, we can deduce 
If we plug this expression in the second equation, we have
If you solve this equation with the usual quadratic formula you get the solutions
So, you have the following couple of solutions, recalling that x is 2 more than y:
