Question

The length of a rectangle is 3 m greater than its width. The area of the rectangle is 54 m2. Find the length and width.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of rectangle be x.

Length of rectangle = x + 3

Area of rectangle = l × b

x × (x + 3) = 54

x² + 3x = 54

x = 6

Therefore, width of rectangle = 6m

Length of rectangle = 9m
