l=w+12
w(w+12)=645
w^2+12w-645=0
Using the quadratic equation: we get:
w=(-12+-sqrt[12^2-4*1*-645])/2*1
w=(-12+-sqrt[144+2580])/2
w=(-12+-sqrt[2724])/2
w=(-12+-52.19)/2
w=(-12+52.19)/2
w=40.19/2
w=20.095 answer for the width.
l=20.095+12=32.095 answer for the length.
Proof:
20.095*32.095=645
645=645
