A rectangle and a square have same area. If the length of the side of the square is 6 units and the longest side of the rectangle is 5 more than the measure of shorter side. Find the dimensions of rectangle.

Dimensions of the square: 6 and 6

Dimensions of the rectangle: x+5 and x

x%28x%2B5%29=6%2A6

x%5E2%2B5x-36=0
%28x%2B9%29%28x-4%29=0
highlight%28x=4%29-------width

x%2B5=highlight%289%29-----length
