Question

I need help ASAP!!

The length of a rectangle is 4 meters longer than its width.
The area of the rectangle is
117m^2.

What is the width of the rectangle?

HINT: you can use DESMOS for this kind of problem.

Answer 1

w(w + 4) = 117

w^2 + 4w = 117

w^2 + 4w - 117 = 0

(w - 9)(w + 13) = 0

w = 9 meters

The width of the rectangle is 9 meters, and the length of the rectangle is 13 meters.
