Question #e4f40

Answer 1

`12m` long and `5m` wide

Explanation:

We know that area is length times width. In this case, the answer is `60` so you need factors that multiply to `60` like:

`4 xx 15, 6 xx 10 and 5 xx 12.`

The Pythagorean Theorem also tells us that that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
`13^2 = 169`.

Looking at your list of factors, `4 and 15` won't work
(`16 + 225 = 241`) and neither do 6 and 10 (`36 + 100 = 136`).

`5 and 12` reveal `25 and 144`, which do add to `169.`

`:.` the length is `=12m` and the height `5m.`
