Answer:
21cm, 12cm
Step-by-step explanation:
width=x cm
length=2x-3 cm
area= 252cm²
l*b= 252 cm²
(2x-3)(x)=252
2x²-3x= 252
this is how I did it
we need to find the nearest square of the number (it should be lesser than the area)
that is 225, whose square root is 15.
since there is a coefficient to the x², the value of x would be calculate like this 15- (2+1)= 15-3 = 12
x= 12
we can verify it too,
2*(12)² - 3*12=252
288-36=252
252=252
therefore width is 12 cm and width is 2*12-3= 24-3= 21 cm
verify;
21*12= 252
252=252
hence the dimensions are 12 am (width) and 21 cm(length).
