The area of a square mirror is 256in^2. A rectangular mirror has a width the same as the square mirror's width. Its length is two inches longer than its width. What is the area of the rectangular mirror?
substitute the "l" in the first equation with the second equation (2+w) and solve for "w". Once you find it, plug into the second equation to find "l". Use the area formula for rectangles to find the area. Hope this helps!
