Question

If the perimeter of a rectangle is 34 cm and the area is 66 square cm, then what are the dimensions of the rectangle

Answer 1

No solution

Explanation:

Let's write the two pieces of information algebraically.

Perimeter of rectangle is 34cm:

`2l+2w=34`

Area of rectangle is 66cm^2:

`l*w=66`

Since we have two equations and two variables, we can solve for both values.

I'll leave the work for you but there are no valid solutions.
