Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A = lw

l = w + 2

48 = lw

48 = (w + 2)w

48 = w² + 2w

0 = w² + 2w - 48

Quadratic equation results =

w = 6 or w = -8

But the measure could not be negative, therefore w = 6

A student said that since -9 is less than 4, then |-9| is less than |4|. Is the student correct? Explain why or why not.
IRISSAK [1]
No, that is not true. The absolute value is the distance a number is from zero. The distance of -9 to 0 is 9. 9 is not less than 4.
