Answer:
length = 10 in, width = 6 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width be x.
Then, length = (x+4)
Area = 60 in²
Area of a rectangle = width × length
60 = x × (x+4)
60 = x² + 4x
x² + 4x - 60 = 0
Splitting the middle term :-
x² + 10x - 6x - 60 = 0
x (x + 10) - 6 ( x + 10) =0
(x + 10) ( x - 6)
x = -10 (doesn't fulfill our requirement)
x = 6
So, width = 6 in
length = 6+4 = 10 in
