here's the solution,
let the length of shorter peice = x
then the lenght of longer peice = 6x + 8
now, we know that the sum of length of peices measures 99 feet,
So,
=》x + 6x + 8 = 99
=》7x = 91
=》x = 13
shorter piece length = 13 feet
longer peice length = 13 × 6 + 8 = 78 + 8 = 86 feet
48 cm is the area because 12x4 is 48.
