Width of the rectangle is 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the width of the rectangle be x. Then the length = x - 3. Find dimensions of the rectangle if its area = 54 sq. units

Area of the rectangle = length × width

54 = x (x - 3)

54 = x² - 3x

x² - 3x - 54 = 0

x² + 6x - 9x - 54 = 0 (Using Product Sum rule to factorize)

x(x + 6) - 9(x + 6) = 0

(x + 6)(x - 9) = 0

x = -6, 9 (negative value is neglected)

x = 9 units

4) -0.3 = -1/3 < -1/7 since the bigger a negative number is the less positive it is. 1/8 is positive so it is clear that it should be placed last. & thus do all options this way.

5) B

Area of a triangle = ½ bh.

where b = base &

h = height.

Area of outer shape = (½ x 16 x 12) in^2.

= 96 in^2.

Area of unshaded inner shape = (½ x 3 x 4) in^2.

= 6 in^2.

Area of shaded region = (96 – 6) in^2.

= 90 in^2.
