Re: 6 Rectangle Problem
HI;
Always draw an accurate diagram that has everything you know about the problem.
From that we get these equations:
{(a + 2 b) (4 b) = 54, 4 b*b = 9}, can you finish?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
