length = 56 with = 48
Improved Answer:
Presumably your question is about finding the dimensions of a rectangle?
If so then let the length be (x+8) the width be x and the square be x2:
(x+8)*x = x2+160 square feet
x2+8x = x2+160
x2-x2+8x = 160
8x = 160
x = 20
Therefore: length = 28 feet and width = 20 feet
Check: 28*20 = 400+160 = 560 square feet

Does a square and a rectangle has equal length?
A square (a by a) and a rectangle (a by b) can have sides that are of equal length.
How does doubling the each dimension of a rectangle that is not a square affect the perimeter and the area of that rectangle?
quadruples it
How do you find the width and length of a rectangle if you only know the diagnol?
If the only known fact is the length of the diagonal then the width and length of the rectangle CANNOT be determined. The diagonal could be that of a square, or of a rectangle that is very long but quite narrow. Consequently at least one more fact is required such as; the dimension of either the length or the width, or the angle that the diagonal makes to the base of the rectangle or even the area of the rectangle.
Can a square be a rectangle but can a rectangle be a square?
Yes.A square is a special kind of rectangle, one with all sides of equal length. So all square are rectangles.All rectangles are not squares, some (most) have two sides longer than the other two.
What is the width of the rectangle if the area of a rectangle is thirty five square feet the length is two feet longer than the width?
width is 5 feet
The base of rectangle exceeds three times its altitude by 4if the length of the side of the square is 8centimeter find the dimension of the rectangle?
the base of the rectangle exceeds three times its altitudes by 4. if the length of the side of the square is 8centimeter find the dimension of the rectangle.
Is it generally accepted that the length of a rectangle is longer side?
No. length is usually the bottom. Furthermore, a rectangle doesn't necessarily have a longer side. A rectangle simply needs 4 right angles. Therefore a square is a rectangle, yet has no longer side.
What is the different between the square and rectangle?
square has four equal sides a rectangle has two sides of one length and two of another and the rectangle is longer and thinner
The length of a rectangle is 5 feet longer than its width The area of the rectangle is 374 square feet What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
17 and 22
The area of a rectangle is 63 square feet the length is two feet longer than the width what is the width of the rectangle?
Area of a rectangle is length times width, therefore if the length is two feet longer than the width then the length is 9 and the width is 7, when they are multiplied you get 63
Does a square and a rectangle has equal length?
A square (a by a) and a rectangle (a by b) can have sides that are of equal length.

The length is 7 feet and the width is 5 feet
The area of a rectangle is 48 square feet The length is two feet longer than the width What is the width of the rectangle?
The width is 6 feet. The length is 8 feet.
What is the difference between a rectangle and a square?
In a square, the sides are all the same length.
What is the width of a rectangle is 11 feet its length is three times longer than it width What is the area of the rectangle?
Area of a rectangle: length times width Width=11 Length= 11x3= 33 11x33= 363 square feet
What is the main difference between a square and a rectangle?
A square has exactly 4 sides all the same length A rectangle has 4 sides but 2 one length 2 another 2 longer 2 shorter:)))
