The length of a rectangle is 2 yd more than twice the width x. The area is 544 yd^2. Find the dimensions of the given shape.

Question

doesn't need description, question fits in the box 

Answer 1

area (rectangle) = x(2x+2) = 544 in sq yd.

dividing by two gives x(x+1) = 272

you now have a quadratic equation; SOLVE for x and then state width x and length 2x+2 as the answers, in yards.
