The length of a rectangle is 5 centimeters less than twice its width. Its area is 42 square centimeters. Find the dimensions of
the rectangle.
The width is
and the length is
1 answer:
Answer:
width=6cm, lenth is 7cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let width of rectangle be x cm
Twice width=2x cm
length=2x-5 cm
Area of the rectangle= L× W =42cm²
(2x-5) × x =42
x(2x-5)=42
2x²-5x-42=0
solving the quadratic equation
x=6cm
width=6cm
length= (2×6)- 5 =7cm
