area=LW
perimiter=2(L+W)

aera=36
P=25

36=LW
25=2(L+W)


25=2(L+W)
divide both sides by 2
12.5=L+W
minus W
12.5-W=L

sub for L
36=W(12.5-W)
36=12.5W-W^2
minus (12.5W-W^2) both sides
0=W^2-12.5W+36
use quadratic formula

if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=[tex] \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a} [/tex]

a=1
b=-12.5
c=36

W=[tex] \frac{-(-12.5)+/- \sqrt{(-12.5)^{2}-4(1)(36)} }{2(1)} [/tex]
W=[tex] \frac{12.5+/- \sqrt{156.25-144} }{2} [/tex]
W=[tex] \frac{12.5+/- \sqrt{12.25} }{2} [/tex]
aprox
W=8 or 4.5

sub
12.5-W=L


12.5-8=L=4.5
12.5-4.5=L=8
either way

the dimentions are 4.5cm by 8 cm
