Question

A rectangle is 8m longer than it is wide. If the length is increased by 2m and the width is increased 2m, the area is

increase by 68m 2. Find the original dimensions.

Answer 1

Answer: what

Explanation:

Answer 2

width=x

length=x+8

area= x(x+8)

new width =x+2

new length=x+10

New Area = (x+2)(x+10)

(x+2)(x+10)-x(x+8)= 68

after solving:

4x=68-20

4x=48

x=12

width=12m

length=12+8=20m
