Let the length be (x+0.75) and the width be x:
length*width = area
(x+0.75)*x = 11.25 square inches
x2+0.75x = 11.25
x2+0.75x-11.25 = 0
Solving the above equation by means of the quadratic equation formula gives a positive value of 3 for x.
Therefore: length = 3.75 inches and width = 3 inches
Check: 3.75*3 = 11.25 square inches
Length = 3.5 inches and Width = 2.5 inches Check: 2(3.5+2.5) = 12 inches
a rectangle has a perimeter of 72m. If the length is 20 m longer than the width find its dimensions?
8.125 inches
I am not sure what the point is for you to give us the dimensions of a rectangle and then ask what one of those dimensions is. Perhaps you are not sure whether the shorter or the longer of the two dimensions would be considered the length, and which the width. I would say that a rectangle measuring 2cm x 5cm is 2cm wide and 5cm long.
a rectangle as a longer side because there's 48 inches for a rectangle but there's only 45 inches for a triangle. a rectangle as a longer side because there's 48 inches for a rectangle but there's only 45 inches for a triangle.

17 and 22
not really but the length is always the longer side :)
8.125 inches
The width and length of a rectangle are two of its main dimensions. The width is the measurement of the shorter side of the rectangle, while the length is the measurement of the longer side. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the width by the length.
The dimensions are: length 10.5 cm and width 3.5 cm Check: 2*(10.5+3.5) = 28 cm
Missing information. The rectangle could be a square then the two sides would be the square root of 5000 or about 70.71. As the rectangle gets longer the sides change and thus the dimensions.

When I look to the right, all I see is a stapler and a small stuffed dog, and neither of them is shaded. Something here is not right.
