The length of a rectangle is 6 cm more than its width. The area of the rectangle is 27cm Z. What are the dimensions?

Answer:

width = 3 cm

Length = 9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Width is x

length is x+6

(x+6) (x) = 27cm^2

x^2 + 6x = 27

x^2 + 6x - 27 = 0

(x+9) (x-3) = 0

x= -9, x = 3

since length/width cannot be negative we will use x=3

width = x

length = x + 6

width = 3 cm

Length = 9 cm
