Suppose the Length is L centimetres and the Width W is W centimetres.

Then the area = 72 cm2 implies that L*W = 72 so that W = 72/L cm

Also, perimetre = 34 metres = 3400 centimetres.

So 2(L + W) = 3400 or L + W = 1700

Substituting for W, L +72/L = 1700

Multiply through by L : L2 + 72 = 1700L

or, L2 - 1700L + 72 = 0

Using the quadratic formula to solve this equation gives L = 1699.958 cm and

W = 0.042 cm (to 3 dp).

The other root simply swaps the values of L and W.
