Problema Solution
the length of a rectangle is 5 m longer than the width. if the area is 30 square meters, find the rectangle's dimensions
Answer provided by our tutors
let
l = the length of the rectangle, l>o
w = the width of the rectangle, w>0
the length of a rectangle is 5 m longer than the width
l = 5 + w
the area is 30 square meters"
l*w = 30
plug l = 5 + w into the last equation:
(5 + w)w = 30
by solving we find:
w = 3.52 m
click here to see the step by step solution of the equation:
l = 5 + 3.52
l = 8.52 m
the rectangles dimensions are: the length is 8.52 meters and width is 3.52 meters.
