the area of a rectangle = length x widthwe can rearrange this to give uslength of a rectangle = area/ width
The perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x (length + width) = 2 x (12 + 8) = 2 x 20 = 40 inches
Call the width of the rectangle x. Call the length of the rectangle x + 2. The area of the rectangle would be the length times the width. We know this is 15 square inches. Set up the equation and solve for x. (x +2)x = 15 x2 + 2x = 15 x2 + 2x - 15 = 0 Factor the quadratic equation: (x - 3)(x + 5) = 0 x = 3 or x = -5 Since length can't be negative, discard the answer -5. If x = 3, then the width is 3 and the length is x + 2 or 5. 5 x 3 = 15 which equals the area.
Area = length x width
The perimeter of a rectangle is 2length +2 width. the width is x the length is x+4. Plug into the equation 2(x)+2 (x+4)=20 2x+2x+8=20 4x=12 x=3 The width is 3 the length is 7 (3+4) Area is length times width. 3(7)= 21. the area is 21 centimeters
