The length of a rectangle is 5 m less than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is 52m ^ 2 . Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Respuesta :

The dimension of the rectangle is 8m by 6.5m respectively

Area of a rectangle

The formula for calculating the area of a rectangle is expressed as;

A =lw

If the length of a rectangle is 5 m less than twice the width, then;

l = 2w - 5

Substitute

A = w(2w-5)

52 = 2w² - 5w

2w² - 5w = 52

2w² - 5w - 52 = 0

(2w−13)(w+4)=0

Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.

2w−13=0 or w+4=0

w =13/2 or 6.5m

Determine the length

l = 2w - 5

l = 2(6.5) - 5

l = 13 - 5

l =8m

Hence the dimension of the rectangle is 8m by 6.5m respectively
