A rectangle has an area of 30 m² and a perimeter of 34 m. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?

Length is l

width is w

l*w = 30

2l + 2w = 34

You can simplify the second equation to l + w = 17

Factors of 30:

30*1

15*2

10*3

6*5

Try adding each of these factors together, to find out which equals 17

30 + 1 = 31

15 + 2 = 17

10 + 3 = 13

6 + 5 = 11

So the dimensions of the rectangle are 15m * 2m
