Rectangular field

One dimension of a rectangular field is 168 m greater than the other. When each side is increased by 9 m, the area of the field becomes 2187 m². Find the dimensions of the field.

Final Answer:

x =  201 m
y =  33 m

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔS=2187 m2  x=y+168  m S1S2 = ΔS (x+9)(y+9)  xy = ΔS  (x+9) ((x168)+9)x (x168)=2187  18x=3618  x=183618=201  x=201=201 m
y=x168=201168=33 m
