The length of a rectangle is 2 centimeters less than its width. What are the dimensions of the rectangle if its area is 195 square centimeters?

Length=15 cm

Width=13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let x be the width dimension, the length will be (x-2)

-The area of a rectangle is given by the formula;

#We substitute the length and width values and equate to the given area:

#Rewrite as a quadratic and solve for x:

Since dimensions are always positve, the x value is 15

x=15

x=13

Hence, the dimensions of the rectangle are length=15 cm and width=13 cm
