Let the width be (x-2) and the length be x: width*length = area (x-2)*x = 35 square inches x2-2x = 35 x2-2x-35 = 0 Solving the above quadratic equation works out as: x = -5 or x = 7 it must be the latter because dimensions can't be negative Therefore: length = 7 inches and width = 5 inches Check: 7*5 = 35 square inches
35
35
1 Let length and width be 7x and 5x 2 So 7x*5x = 5040 or 35x2 = 5040 3 Divide each side by 35 and then square root both sides 4 Therefore x = 12 5 Length = 7*12 = 84 inches 6 Width = 5*12 = 60 inches 7 Check: 84*60 = 5040 square inches
The dimensions are: width of 7 units and length of 35 units!
