Question

The length of a rectangle 5 cm more than its width. If the area of the rectangle is 50 cm2

,
find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answer 1

the length is 10

the width is 5

Explanation:

Hey there!

To solve this equation we use the formula

50=5/x

step 1 divide each side by 5

50/5=10

so we can conclude that x (or the width) = 5

then we add 5 (because the length is 5 more then the width)

5+5=10

so length =10 and width = 5
