Problema Solution
The length of a rectangle is
5 ft
less than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is
33 ft2
. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'w' represent the width, then '2w-5' represents the length:
33=w(2w-5)
w=5.5
2(5.5)-5=6
So the width is 5.5 ft and the length is 6 ft.
