The length of a rectangle is 7m more than its width, and the area of the
\n" ); document.write( "rectangle is 98m^2. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Area = (length)(width)
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter=2(length + width)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the width be x meters ; length = x+7 meters\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "98 = x(x+7)
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+7x-98 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(x+14)(x-7)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x=7 meters (width of the rectangle)
\n" ); document.write( "x+7=14 meters (length of the rectangle)
