<PRE><B>Question 262957</B>
A worker will lay out wood frames in two rectangles, and will pour concrete into these frames for a small patio. The length of each rectangle is 2 feet more than its width. if the total length of the wood to be used is 64 feet, find the LEGNTH and WIDTH of the rectangles. ( ignore the thickness of the wood) 


Let the width be x
Length = x+3

2*(4x+4)=64

8x+8=64

8x=56

X=7

Length =9
