Answer:

Length: 6 m

Width: 4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area: 24 m^{2}

Width: 2L - 8 m

Length: ?

Formula: A = W * L

Replace the variables:

24 = (2L - 8) * L

24 = 2L^{2} - 8L

0 = 2L^{2} - 8L - 24

or

2L^{2} - 8L - 24 = 0

Solve; if you don't know how to solve it using this method, let me know. It's the expression Ax^{2} +Bx+C

1. 2 (\frac{(2L^2 - 8L - 24)}{2})

2. \frac{(2L)^2 - 8(2L) - 48}{2}

3. \frac{(2L - 12)(2L + 4)}{2}

4. 2(\frac{(L - 6)(2L + 4)}{2})

5. (L-6) (2L+4)

6. L-6 = 0 AND 2L+4 = 0

L - 6 =0

L = 6

---------------------------------

2L = -4

L = \frac{-4}{2}

L = -2

Since the length cannot be negative, the only real value is 6.

Area: 24 m^{2}

Width: 2L - 8 m

Length: 6 m

Calculate width:

W = 2L - 8

W = 2(6) - 8

W = 12 - 8

W = 4 m

The table below shows a proportional relationship. True or False?
lana66690 [7]

According to the image, the table shows a relationship that is not proportional. First of all, you cannot multiply a number by 0 and get something other than 0. Anything multiplied by 0 is always 0.

Second, the rule is different for each row.

2x5=10

4x4=16

6x3.6=22

A proportional relationship must increase by the same amount, and this does not, which means it is not proportional.
