The length of a rectangle is 3 ft less than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is 14 ft2 . Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Question

need to find the dimensions. thats all. 

Answer 1

A Area = 2l + 2w  Simply plug in the numers

The width is w

The length is 2w-3 So:

196sq ft = 2w + 2(2w-3)

196= 6w-6

add 6 to both sides to get unknown by itself

202=6w now divide both sides by 6 to get w

w=33 2/3 ft

l= 2 X 33 2/3-3=64 1/3
