The length of a rectangle is 4 m greater than the width. The area
of the rectangle is 96 m2. Find
the length and width.

Given :

The length of a rectangle is 4 cm more than its width

The area of the rectangle is 96 cm²

To Find :

Width of the rectangle.

Solution :

Let the length of the rectangle be x cm.

Let the breadth of the rectangle be y cm.

Case 1:

➣  (1)

Case 2 :

We have the formula for area of the rectangle as follows :

Where,

l = length → x cm

b = breadth → y cm.
