The dimensions of the rectangle:
Length = 12 inches
Width = 7 inches
What is the Area of a Rectangle?
Area of a rectangle = (length)(width)
Given the following:
Area of the rectangle = 84 square inches
Length = x + 3
Width = x - 2
Therefore:
(x + 3)(x - 2) = 84
Expand
x² + x - 6 = 84
x² + x - 6 - 84 = 0
x² + x - 90 = 0
Factorize
(x - 9)(x + 10) = 0
x = 9 or x = -10
Substitute x = 9 into each expression to find the dimensions of the rectangle:
Length = x + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12 inches
Width = x - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7 inches
