Now the width is w.
It's twice as long as wide, so now the length is 2w.

If the length is increased by 4 cm, the length will be 2w + 4.
The width is decreased by 3 cm, so the width will be w - 3.

The are of the new rectangle is 100 cm^2.

area = length * width

area = (2w + 4)(w - 3)

The area of the new rectangle is 100, so we get

(2w + 4)((w - 3) = 100

2w^2 - 6w + 4w - 12 = 100

2w^2 - 2w - 112 = 0

w^2 - w - 56 = 0

(w - 8)(w + 7) = 0

w - 8 = 0   or   w + 7 = 0

w = 8   or   w = -7

A width cannot be negative, so discard w = -7.

w = 8

The width is 8 cm.
The length is twice the width, so the length is 16 cm.

Find the length of a rectangle if its
Alina [70]

Answer: L = 29cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's go!!

To find any rectangle area, you have to apply this formula: A = L . w , where L is the length and w is the width.

So, we have w = L - 13 (the width is 13 less than the Length) and then, perimeter is 90 cm.

Well, I hope you remember that the perimeter of rectangle is 2L + 2W. In this case, 2L + 2w = 90

Then, you might to solve this system of equation:

2L + 2w = 90

w = L - 13

Simplifying the first equation, you'll have L + w = 45 (you can divide everything of 2).

Our new system:

L + w = 45

w = L - 13

Using the substituition method:

L + L - 13 = 45

2L = 58

L = 29 cm

the width is 29 - 13 = 16 cm
