Answer 1

Answer:

Dimensions are 3cm and 10cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make two equations for this problem.

ab = 30

2a + 2b = 26

Isolate a in the first equation.

a = 30/b

Plug that into the second equation.

2(30/b) + 2b = 26

2b^2 + 60 = 26b

2b^2 - 26b + 60 = 0

2(b - 3)(b - 10) = 0

b - 3 = 0 and b - 10 = 0

b = 3, 10

Plug these values into the first equation.

a3 = 30

a = 10

a10 = 30

a = 3

Best of Luck!
