im pretty posivite that u do base x Hight

anonymous · Answer

2x+2y=110       54=x*y         y=54/x       110=2(54/x)+2x       55=(54/x)+x     55x-x^2)=54      -1x^2+55x-54=0  use quadratic to find value for x=1 or 54     1 obviously can't be the answer so plug 54 back in for x to find y

that can't be right
you cant have an area half the value of your perimeter
