Problema Solution
The length of a rectangle is
3 ft
more than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is
35 ft2
. Find the dimensions of the rectangle
Answer provided by our tutors
let
w = the width of the rectangle, w>0
3 + 2w = the length of the rectangle
A = 35 ft^2 the area of the rectangle
A = width*length
w*(3 + 2w) = 35
by solving we find:
w = 3.5 ft
click here to see the step by step solution of the equation:
3 + 2*3.5 = 10 ft
the dimensions of the rectangle are: the width is 3.5 ft and the length is 10 ft.
