Given that the length of a rectangular garden in one meter more than twice its width. If the area of the garden is 42m^2 what is its length and width?

Let the width =W

The length =2W + 1

W x [2W + 1] = 42, solve for W

W =~4.34 meters - the width of the rectangle

L =2 x 4.34 + 1 =~9.68 meters - the length of the rectangle.
