Question

The area of a rectangle is 48 square centimeters and the length of the rectangle is 8 centimeters longer than the width.

The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length times the width.

Which equation models this situation?

8w = 48

w + 8 = 48

w(w+8)=48w(w+8)=48

w + 8w = 48

Answer 1

The area of a rectangle is 48 square centimeters. If the length of the rectangle is 8 centimeters longer than the width, how wide is the rectangle?

A area = L length * W width

48=(W+8)*W

48=W^2 + 8W

0=W^2 + 8W - 48

0=(W+12)(W-4
