Question 337741: The area of a rectangle is 135 square feet. The width is 6 feet less than the length. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
The area of a rectangle is 135 square feet. The width is 6 feet less than the length. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?

what we know:
W=L-6
p = 2L +2W
A= L*W
135 = A
135 = L *(L-6)
135 = L^2 -6L
0= L^2-6L -135
0=(L-15)(L+9)
L=15 OR -9 L CAN NOT BE NEGATIVE DONT MAKE SENSE.
PLUG IN ABOVE EQUATIONS: W=L-6 AND W=15-6=9
DIMENSION IS L=15 FEET AND W=9 FEET
