You are given the shape - rectangle, perimeter - the length of the fence, and the area. Can you find the sides? Hint: set up 2 equations with sides as unknowns.
 
Let a be length and b be width.
Write an equation involvinhg a, b and the given area.
Write another equation, this time involving a, b and the given perimeter.
Solve simultaneously.
