HEY BUDDY HERE IS YOUR ANSWER
Let the length of the rectangle be l and breadth be b
then,
2(l + b) = 28
=> l + b = 14 .....................(i)
Then,
l*b = 40
=> l = 40/b ..........................(ii)
Putting (ii) in equation (i)
l + b = 14
=>40/b + b = 14
=>40 + b^2 = 14b
=>b^2 - 14b + 40 = 0
Applying quadratic formula we find 2 values for b which are 10 or 4
Hence if the breadth comes to be 10 and 4 then the length is either 4 or 10
So the length and breadth can be either and 4 and 10 or 10 and 4
