The dimensions of the rectangle are, length = 5 inch and width = 6 inch.
What is rectangle?
A rectangle in Euclidean plane geometry is a quadrilateral with four right angles. It can alternatively be explained in terms of an equiangular quadrilateral—a term that refers to a quadrilateral whose angles are all equal—or a parallelogram with a right angle. A square is an irregular shape with four equal sides.
Let, the length of a rectangle is 7 inches less than twice the width, w, of the rectangle.
Suppose,
width = w = x, then,
length = l = 2x - 7
Since the area of the rectangle is 30 square inches.
We know that.
Area of rectangle = length x width
30 = (2x - 7) x (x)
30 = 2x^2 - 7x
2x^2 - 7x - 30 = 0
2x^2 - 12x + 5x - 30 = 0
2x(x - 6) + 5(x - 6) = 0
(2x + 5)(x - 6) = 0
⇒ 2x + 5 = 0, x - 6 = 0
⇒ x = -5/2, x = 6
Since length is not negative.
Therefore, w = 6.
So, l = 2(6) - 7 = 12 - 7 = 5
Hence, the length is 5 inches and the width is 6 inches.
