The length of a rectangle is 3 cm more than twice the width. The area of the rectangle is 65 square centimeters. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

5 cm and 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the width of the rectangle.

Length = 3+2b

The area of the rectangle is 65 cm²

We need to find the dimensions of the rectangle. The area of a rectangle is given by :

A = lb

Neglecting the negative value, the width of the rectangle is 5 cm.

Length = 3+2b

=3+2(5)

=3+10

=13 cm

Hence, the dimensions of the rectangle are 5 cm and 13 cm.
