Question

The area of a rectangle is 27 ft2 , and the length of the rectangle is 3 ft less than double the width. find the dimensions of the rectangle. length : ft width : ft

Answer 1

Let w be the width;and 2w-3 be the length. Then:
w(2w-3)=27
2w²-3w-27=0
(2w-9)(w+3)=0
w=9/2 or -3
The width is 9/2 ft, the length is 6
