Problema Solution
the length of a rectangle is 2 meters more than the width. the area of the rectangle is 48m^2..find the length and the width.
Answer provided by our tutors
let
w = the width of the rectangle and w>0
l = the length of the rectangle and l>0
the length of a rectangle is 2 meters more than the width
l = 2 + w
the area of the rectangle is 48m^2 and Area of rectangle = width*length
l*w = 48
by solving the system of equations
l = 2 + w
l*w = 48
we find
l = 8 m
w = 6 m
the length is 8 m and the width is 6 m.
