The length of a rectangle is 8 more than the width. The area is 105 square centimeters. Find the length and width of the rectangle.

Width =  7 cm

Length = 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width = w

Length = w + 8

Area of rectangle = 105 sq. cm

length * breadth = 105

(w + 8)*w = 105

Use distributive property

w² + 8w = 105

w² + 8w - 105 = 0

Sum = 8

Product = -105

Factors = 15 , -7   {15 +(-7) = 8 & 15*(-7) = -105}

w² - 7m + 15m - 105 = 0

w(w - 7) + 15(m - 7) = 0

(w - 7)(w + 15) = 0

Ignore w + 15= 0 as measurements will not be in negative value

w - 7 = 0

w = 7

Width = 7 cm

Length = 7 + 8 = 15 cm

30 units^2

step-by-step explanation:

area is l × w

the length is 3

and the width is 10

3 × 10= 30 units squared
