Question 1089006: The area of a rectangle is 55m^2
, and the length of the rectangle is 4m
less than three times the width. Find the dimensions of the rectangle. Answer by anandtiwar62@gmail.com(3) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since area of rectangle=length×width
Given that
Area of rectangle=55m^2
Let width of rectangle=x
Thenlength=3x-4
Then according to formula of rectangle
55=x×(3x-4)
Solving quadratic equation
We get
X= 5
Then width= 5m
and length =11m
