The dimensions of the paper are 9 by 5 inches

How to determine the dimensions?

Let x represent the length and y, the width

The given parameters are:

Perimeter, P = 28

Area, A = 45

So, we have

P = 2(x + y) = 28

A = xy = 45

Rewrite as:

2(x + y) = 28

xy = 45

By trial by error, we have:

x = 9 and y = 5

This can be proved as follows:

2(9 + 5) = 28--- true

9 * 5 = 45 --- true

Hence, the dimensions of the paper are 9 by 5 inches
