Answer:

50, 60, 50, and 60

Explanation:

xy = 3000

2x + 2y = 220

Rewrite the second equation

y = -x + 110

Substitute this into the first equation.

x(-x + 110) = 3000

-x^2 + 110x - 3000

Divide by -1

x^2 - 110x + 3000

(x - 60) (x - 50)

x = 60, 50

When x = 60, y = 50 and vice versa, so the sides are 50, 60, 50, and 60.
