Question

Find the dimensions

Answer 1

It is assumed that a table is rectangular. The area of a rectangle is given by
\[\text{Area} = length \times width\]
We're told that the length is 3m greater than the width. Translating this into math:
Length (L)
is (=)
3m greater than the width 3 + w
Combining that together:
\[length = 3 + width\]
Now we can plug into the formula for the area (which we are told equals 88)
\[\text{Area} = length \times width = \left( 3 + width \right) \times width = 88\]
Now you can solve the equation for the width:
\[\left( 3 + width \right) \times width = 88\]
Once you have the width, you can plug it into the equation for the length to solve for the length
\[length = 3 + width\]

Answer 2

Right, but I don't understand how to find the length and width
