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
