Question

A rectangle has a length 6 m less than twice its width. When 2 m are added to the width, the resulting figure is a square with an area of 100 m2. Find the dimensions
of the original rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

A rectangle has a length 6m less than twice its width. when 5 m are added to the width, the resulting figure is a square with an area of 256m^2. find the distance of the original rectangle

width:: x

length:: 2x-6

-------

New width:: x+5

---

Equation:

 

(x+5)^2 =256 =16

16 is the original length
