The length of a rectangle is three centimeters less than the width. If one area of the rectangle is 53 cm^2, find the dimensions of the rectangle. (explain how you got step by step)
l= w-3cm A= l*w A= 53cm² 53= l*w (plug in value of length) 53= (w-3)(w) 0=w²-3w+53 Use the quadratic formula: (in the pictures attached) w= about 9cm l=9-3= 6cm
