Question

the length of a rectangle is 2 meters more than its width. the area of the rectangle is 80 square meters. what is the length and width of the rectangle? a. length = 10 meters, width = 8 meters b. length = 20 meters, width = 4 meters c. length = 14 meters, width = 12 meters d. length = 8 meters, width = 6 meters

Answer 1

A is the answer

Explanation:

Have a nice day :)

Answer 2

Let the width be w;
Then the length is (w+2)
A=L*W
A=(w+2)*w
A=
`w^(2)+2w`
80=
`w^(2) +2w`

`w^(2) +2w-80=0`
Solving by expansion;

`w^(2) +10w-8w-80`
=w(w+10)-8(w+10)
=(w-8)(w+10)
w= 8
Width is 8 and length is 10
