The width of rectangle is 15 feet and the length of rectangle is 23 feet.

According to the statement

Width of rectangle = x

Length of rectangle = x+10

Area of rectangle = 345 sq-feet.

we know that the area of rectangle is

Area of rectangle = L*W

Substitute the values in it then

345 = (x) (x+8)

345= (x)^2 + 8x

(x)^2 + 8x - 345 = 0

By factorisation

(x-15) (x+23) = 0

So, width of rectangle is 15 feet and the length of rectangle is 23 feet.
