3
m
more than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is
54
m
2
. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
Answer provided by our tutors
let
w = the width, w>0
3 + 2w = the length of the rectangle (3 m more than twice the width)
A = 54 m^2 the area of the rectangle
A = width*length
w(3 + 2w) = 54
by solving we find:
w = 4.5 m
click here to see the step by step solution of the equation:
3 + 2*4.5 = 12 m
the dimensions of the rectangle are 4.5 meters and 12 meters.
