The length of a rectangle is 3 meters more than its width.If the area is 108 sqaure meters What are the length and width?

1 answer

L=Lenght

W=Width

L=W+3

A=L*W

108=(W+3)*W

108=W^2+3W

W^2+3W-108=0

Solutions of this equation is:

-12 and 9

Lenght can't be negative,so W=9m

L=W+3=9+3=12m

L=12m W=9m

A=12*9=108m^2
