The length of a rectangle is 3 meters less than twice the width. If the area of the rectangle is 665 square meters, find the dimensions.

Question

What is the length and what is the width 

Answer 1

W=111.83 m          A=665 m  A= 2L +2W   we know the L= 2W-3 (given information)  so...665=2(2W-3) + 2W

L= 220.67 m          Now, solve for W and then work backward and solve for L using what you get for W.
