Problema Solution
the length of a rectangle is 1ft more than twice its width, and the area of the rectangle is 28ft^2. Find the dimensions of the rectangle?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'w' represent the width, then '2w+1' represents its length
area = length * width
28 = w(2w+1)
solving for 'w' we have w=3.5
2*3.5 + 1 = 8
the width is 3.5 ft and the length is 8 ft
