Question

Find the length and width of a rectangle whose length is 4 cm more than its width

Answer 1

If we let w be the width of the rectangle, what is the length?

Answer 2

you can have any two numbers you wish so long as the length is w+4 cm. So I guess you could use w=4cm and the l=8cm or w=5cm and the l=9

Answer 3

seems like something is missing, how can a question have many solutions, it should give area or something to make it more specific

Answer 4

I know! i dont see how i can solve it without more information. We are doing quadratic equations, I dont know if that helps
