1) The length of a rectangle is three times the width. The area is 108 cm^2. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
2) A square field had 3 m added to its length and 2m added to its width. The field then had an area of 90 m^2. Find the length of a side of the original field.
3)The length of a rectangular park is 2 km less than twice the width. The area is 9 km^2. Find the dimensions of the park
PS: Just translate the word problem into equation, you don't have to solve it.
