Question 896393: the length of a rectangle is 8 cm less than twice the width. if the area of this rectangle is 640 cm^2, find the length and width dimensions? Answer by harpazo(655) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! length = 2x - 8
width = x
area = 640
640 = (2x-8)(x)
Solve for x.
Then substitute x value into the length and width expressions given above.
