Question 322033: The area of a rectangle is 45 square cm. If the length is 4 cm greater than the width, what are the dimension of the rectangle? Answer by Jk22(389) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let w the width : w(w+4)=45=>w^2+4w+45=0
=>w=(-4+-sqrt(196))/2=5,-9=(-4(+/-)14)/2
-9 is nonsense, so width=5cm, length=4+5=9cm (5cm*9cm=45cm^2)
