Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dimensions that satisfy both the perimeter and area conditions are 4 inches by 7 inches. The perimeter of a rectangle is given by 2(l + w) = 22, and the area is given by l*w = 28. Only the dimensions 4 inches by 7 inches satisfy both equations: 2(4 + 7) = 22 for the perimeter and 4*7 = 28 for the area.
