x=length y=width y=x+8 P=2x+2y=2x+2(x+8) 4x+16=56 4x=40 x=10

ok now Find the dimentions >.< and then find the area?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

supposed tht length is x and width is x+8 2x+2(x+8)=56 4x+16=56 4x=40 x=10

Hmm, usually the length is longer than the width. Still, if length is 10, then width is 18 and area is 180.
