    the two dimensions of the rectangle are 3.5 cm and 6 cm.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    So, we know the perimeter is 19 cm. Which can also be represented as 2w + 2l = 19 (w = width, L = length)

    We also know the area is 21 cm^2, or w*l = 21

    so we have two equations:

    2w + 2L = 19

    wL = 21

    Now, we can isolate one of the variables so that we can substitute it into the other equation.

    we can isolate w by dividing the second equation by L.

    w = 21/L

    Now we can substitute that into the first equation:

    2 (21/L) + 2L = 19

    42/L + 2L = 19

    42 + 2L^2 = 19L

    2L^2 - 19L + 42 = 0

    (2L - 7) (L - 6)

    L = 3.5, 6 = => now we know the two dimensions of the rectangle are 3.5 cm and 6 cm.
