Answer: square meters

Explanation:

The length of a rectangle is 3meters longer than the width. If the area is 34 square meters, find the rectangle's dimensions. Round to the nearest tenth of a meter.

Area of the rectangle = Length × Width

L = w + 3

A = 34 m³

Hence,

34 = (w + 3)w

34 = w² + 3w

w² + 3w - 34 = 0

W + L = A
W +5 = L
W^2 +5W = 26
W^2 + 5W -26 = 0
(-5 + or - square root of (25-4(1)(-26))/2
W = 3.2
Length is 8.2
