The length of the rectangle is 7 centimeter and the width of the rectangle is 4 centimeter
A rectangle has length 3 cm greater than it’s width
Consider the width of the rectangle = x
The length of the the rectangle = x + 3
The area of the rectangle = 28 square centimeter
The area of the rectangle = The length of the the rectangle × The width of the rectangle
Substitute the values in the equation
x(x+3) = 28
Apply the distributive property
+ 3x = 28
+ 3x -28 = 0
Split the middle term and solve the equation
-4x + 7x -28 = 0
Take common term outside
x(x-4) + 7(x-4) =0
Take common term outside
(x+7) (x-4) = 0
x = -7, 4
The length cannot be negative value
x = 4 centimeter
Then the length of the rectangle = x + 3
= 4 +3
= 7 centimeter
Hence, the length of the rectangle is 7 centimeter and the width of the rectangle is 4 centimeter
