Question
The area of the surface of an office desk is 10 square feet. The perimeter is 14 feet. What are the dimensions of the desk?
Answer:
5ft and 2ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = bh or lw
Perimeter = 2(l) + 2(w)
Find factors of 10: 1, 2, 5, 10
1 and 10 is not right because Perimeter would be too big and not equal 14)
2(5) + 2(2) = 10+ 4 = 14 (Perimeter Matches)
