The length and width of a rectangle are consecutive odd intergers. the area of the rectangle is 35 square units. what are the length and width of the rectangle?

The length and width must compel with the following standards:

(1) consecutive odds

(2) intergers

the possible pairs to satisfy condition (2) are 1x35 and 5x7

5 and 7 are consecutive odd numbers = satisfy condition (1)

=> the area's length and width is 5x7 or 7x5

=> it's 5 and 7 (or 7 and 5, doesn't really matter)
