(9+w)w=252 or w(w+9)=252.
The quadratic equation applies: w²+9w-252=0=(w+21)(w-12), so w=12, because a negative zero is meaningless.
So the dimensions are width=12 in and length=21 in.

Liula [17]
This year there are 900 rabbits which represents 200% of last year's population, means that last year the number of rabbits was:
 x = 900 (100/200) = 450 rabbits.
 The mathematical expression can be derived by a simple rule of three.
 So, for last year the population was 450 rabbits.
