The width of a rectangler figure is 5 units smaller than its length. if its area is 14 units square. find its dimensions

W = L - 5

A = W. L

14 = (L - 5). L

14 = L² - 5L

L² - 5L - 14 = 0

(L - 7) (L + 2) = 0 {factorized}

L = 7 / L = - 2

In this case L would be equal to 7 because a length of anything can't be a negative number

Therefore, W = 2

Answer : Length = 7 Width = 2
