Question

the length of a rectangle is 6 Meters longer than the width. if the area is 22 square meters find the rectangle's Dimension rounded to the nearest tenth of a meter. ​

Answer 1

no solution

Explanation:

the length of a rectangle is 6 + w. the area of a rectangle is L*W. we then plug in the found length to the equation.

(6+w)*w = 22. distribute and subtract 22

w^2+6w-22=0. now we would factor, but this equation is not factorable. so we can only go with no solution. (the only multiples of -22 are 11 and -2 and -11 and 2 or -22 and 1 and 22 and -1, both don't add up to 6)
