The length and the width of the rectangle are 14 and 15 meters, respectively
From the question, the statement is given as
Length and width are consecutive integers
Where
Area = 210 square feet
Represent the dimensions with x and y
Where Length = x and Width = y
And also, we have
y = x + 1
The area of a rectangle is
Area = Length x width
Mathematically, this can be represented as
Area = x * y
So, we have
x * y = 210
Substitute y = x + 1 in x * y = 210
x * (x + 1) = 210
Express 210 as 14 * 15
x * (x + 1) = 14 * 15
This means that
x = 14
Substitute x = 14 in y = x + 1
y = 14 + 1
Evaluate
y = 15
So, we have
x = 14 and y = 15
Hence, the length and the width are 14 and 15 meters
