Question

The length of a rectangle is 5 m less than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is 52 m^2. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answer 1

length is 8m

Width is 6.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, width = b

So, length = 2b-5

area = 52
`m^(2)`

We know,

area of rectangle = length X width

So,
`52m^(2)` =
`(2b-5) X b`

On solving the above equation, we get

Width, b = 6.5m

length, l = 8m
