Answer:
5 cm, 9 cm
Explanation:
If x and y are the lengths of sides of the rectangle, then the problem statement tells you ...
Substituting y = 45/x into the second equation, you get
... x² + (45/x)² = 106
Multiplying by x² gives ...
... x⁴ -106x² +2025 = 0 . . . . . after subtracting 106x²
... (x² -53)² -784 = 0 . . . . . . . . complete the square
... x² = 53 ±√784 = 53 ±28 . . . solve for x²
... x = √81 or √25 = 9 or 5 . . . . solve for x (which must be positive)
y is the other of these two values, so ...
The lengths of the sides of the squares are 5 cm and 9 cm.

Comment on the graph
The graph is symmetrical about the origin, so there are also two solutions at (x, y) = (-5, -9) and (-9, -5). Since x and y represent distances, these are extraneous solutions with respect to the original question.
