let the width of the rectangle be x then the length is x+2 we are given the area as 80 square meter and we know the area of a rectangle is given by area=L*W area=(x+2)*x but our area=80 80=(x+2)*x x^2+2x=80 x^2+2x-80=0 we use the quadratic formula to solve this which gives us x=8 therefore our width is 8 and our length is 10
