Let the length be x:

x2 = 4x+21

x2-4x-21 = 0

Solving the above quadratic equation works out as:

x = -3 or x = 7 it must be the latter because the length can't be negative.

Therefore: length = 7 units

Check: 72 = 28+21

What is the area of a square that has a perimeter of 40 meters?

Answer 100 ---- If the perimeter of a square is 40 meters, then each side has lenght 10 meters. This is because the formula for perimeter is 4L where L is the lenght. Now, the area is L2 which is 102 =100

Is it sometimes always or never true that the perimeter of a rectangle is numerically greater than its area?

Sometimes. Experiment with a small square and with a large square (though any shape rectangle will do). A square of 4 x 4 has a perimeter of 16, and an area of 16. A smaller square has more perimeter than area. A larger square has more area than perimeter.


What is the lengnth of one side of the square?

Numerically, it's 1/4 of the perimeter or sqrt(the area), with the units adjusted appropriately.
