The length of a rectangle is 6 cm more

than the width. The area is 11 cm. Find

the length and width.

The answer to your question is: width = 1.47 and length = 7.47 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

length = width + 6 cm = x + 6

width = x

Area = 11 cm²

11 = (x + 6) x Substitution

11 = x² + 6x Simplify

x² + 6x = 11 Factorise

x1 = 1.47 x2 = - 7.47 length can not be negative

width = 1.47 cm

length = 1.47 + 6 = 7.47 m
