Problema Solution

the length of a rectangle exceeds it width by 4 feet. If its area is 32 square feet find its dimension

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'w' represent the width of the rectangle in feet, then 'w+4' represents the length


area = length * width


32 = w(w+4)

solving for 'w' we have a positive value of w=4


4+4=8


the width of the rectangle is 4 ft, its length is 8 ft
