The dimensions are 7 inches by 17 inches.
What is the area of rectangle?
Let the length be l inches
Let the breadth be b inches
Area = l*b
We can find dimensions as shown below:
Let the length be x inches
Let the width be y inches
Area = 119 square inches
x=3+2y (1)
Area = l*w
119 = x*y
Putting value of x
119 = (3+2y) *y
119 = 3y+2y^2
2y^2+3y-119=0
2y^2-14y+17y-119=0
2y(y-7) +17(y-7) =0
(y-7) (2y+17) =0
y=7, -17/2
y cannot be negative
so, y = 7
Putting in equation (1)
x=3+2(7)
= 3+14
= 17
Hence, the dimensions are 7 inches by 17 inches.
