#1) The length of a rectangle is 6 meters more than the width.  The area is 72 square meters.  Find the length and width.

• Length = 6, Width = 12
• Length = 18, Width = 4
• Length = 12, Width = 6
• Length = 4, Width = 6

The area of a playground is 336 yd2 . The width of the playground is 5 yd longer than its length. Find the length and width of the playground

•  length = 26 yd, width = 21 yd
• length = 21 yd, width = 26 yd 
• length = 21 yd, width = 16 yd 
• length = 16 yd, width = 21 yd

The length of a tropical garden at a conservatory is 5 feet more than its width.  A walkway 2 feet wide surrounds the outside of the garden.  If the total area of the walkway and garden is 126 square feet, find the dimensions of the garden.

• 2(x+2) + 2(x+7) = 126
• 2(x+4) + 2(x+ 9) = 126
• (x+2)(x+9) = 126
• (x+4)(x+11) = 126

The width of a rectangle is 8 meters less than its length. If the area of the rectangle is 84 m², find the dimensions of the rectangle.

• x(x-8)=84
• x(x-4)=84
• x(x+8)=84
• x(x-8)=168
