20. A rectangle has an area of 45 cm². The length is one cm less than twice the width. Find the dimensions of
the rectangle.

Respuesta :

Width = 5, length = 9

Area = length * width

length = (2 * width) - 1

sub equation for length

45 = (2w - 1) * w
45 = 2w^2 - w
2w^2 - w - 45 = 0
(2w - 9)(w - 5)
2w - 9 = 0
w = 9/2, l = 8 no

w -5 = 0
w = 5, l = 9 yes
