Question

The width of a rectangle is 7 inches less than its length. The area of a rectangle is 20 square inches. Solve for the dimensions of the rectangle

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

20/2 = 10

Which means 1 length and 1 side together will equal 10. If the width is 7 less than the length then you have to find 2 numbers that equal 10 but are 7 number away from each other.

length=8.5

width=1.5
