Question 944679: If a rectangle has a length that is 5 more than the width and the area is 200cm squared, what is the length and width? Answer by amarjeeth123(569) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the width be x.
Then the length is (x+5).
x(x+5)=200
x^2+5x-200=0
x=11.86.
Length is 16.86
Width is 11.86.
