    The dimensiom of rectangle is 9cm by 3cm

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let width = x

    length = 6 + x

    Area = length * width

    x (x+6) = 27

    x²+6x = 27

    x²+6x-27 = 0

    (x+9) (x-3) = 0 (factorise)

    x = 3 & x = - 9 (rej) (solve)

    when x=3,

    length = 6 + 3

    = 9cm

    width = 3cm
