Question

The length of a rectangle is 1m more than twice its width, and the area of the rectangle is 66m2 . Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answer 1

i need the length ?
and the width ?

Answer 2

any helping hand please

Answer 3

length = 2(width) + 1

length x width = area

Answer 4

let width is x then length is 2x+1 now area is given 66 m^2
area of rectangle A = length * breadth
66 = x(2x + 1)
66 = 2x^2 +x
2x^2 + x - 66 =0
x^2 +x/2 - 33 = 0
(x+6)(x-11/2)=0
x = -6 or x = 11/2
but length can not be negative
so x = 11/2
length = 2x + 1 = 2*11/2 + 1 =12
width = x = 11/2
