  2. The width of a rectangle is three-fourths the length. If the area of the rectangle is 108 square meters, find the dimensions of the rectangle.
  3. Find two consecutive positive integers such that the square of the first increased by 2 times the second is equal to 37.
  4. A vacant rectangular lot is being turned into a community vegetable garden measuring 15 meters by 12 meters. A path of uniform width is to surround the garden. If the area of the lot is 378 square meters, find the width of the path surrounding the garden.
  5. The length of a rectangular garden is 5 feet greater than the width. The are of the rectangle is 300 square feet. Find the dimensions.
