Answer 1

Longer side = 11

Shorter side = 6

Explanation:

L x W = 66, then W = 66/L

2L + 2W = 34

substitute for W:

2L + 2(66/L) = 34

2L + 132/L = 34

multiply both sides of the equation by L:

2L² + 132 = 34L

divide both sides by 2:

L² + 66 = 17L

L² - 17L + 66 = 0

factor:

(L - 11)(L - 6) = 0

L = 11 or L = 6

if L = 11, then W = 6

if L = 6 then W = 11

Answer 2

Im gonna label the long side of a rectangle a and the smaller side b.

For the perimeter, 2a + 2b = 34

For the area, a x b = 66

if a is 11 and b is 6, the equation for perimeter would be 22 + 12 = 34.

So a = 11 and b = 6
