Answer:

Length = 10

Width = 13

Explanation:

If the width of a rectangle is 3 units less than the length and if the area is 130 square units, the length is 10 units and the width is 13 units.

Formula: A=wl

Therefore, you have to find what two numbers multiply together in order to recieve 130 units.

A=wl=13·10=130
