Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dimensions that satisfy both the perimeter and area conditions are 3 inches by 10 inches. The perimeter of a rectangle is given by 2(l + w) = 26, and the area is l*w = 30. Only the dimensions 3 inches by 10 inches satisfy both equations, giving a perimeter of 2(3+10) = 26 inches and an area of 3*10 = 30 square inches.
