The length of the rectangle is = 72 cm
The width of the rectangle is = 56 cm
Area of the rectangle is = 
=
cm²
As given, the other rectangle has the same area as this one, but its width is 21 cm.
Let the length here be = x


Hence, length is 192 cm.
We can see that as width decreases, the length increases if area is constant and when length decreases then width increases if area is constant.
So, in the new rectangle,constant of variation=k is given by,
or 
Hence, the constant of variation is 
If the length of a rectangle is 3m longer than its width, then:
L=W+3
Is the area really 154^2? Or is it 154m^2? If yes, then:
A=LW
154=(W+3)(W)
154=(W^2+3W)
0=W^2+3W-154
0=(W-11)(W+14)
This means either (W-11) or (W+14) is equal to zero so:
W=11 and W=-14
To find out let's substitute the numbers:
154=(11+3)(11)
154=154
Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 11m
