Answer:

w =4 ft and l =10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = width

l = 2w+2

A = l*w

A = (2w+2)(w)

 40  = (2w+2) w

Distribute

40 = 2w^2 +2w

Subtract 40

0 = 2w^2 +2w - 40

Dividing each side by 2

0 = w^2 +w -20

Factor

0 = (w+5) (w-4)

Using the zero product property

w+5 =0     w-4=0

w= -5  w=4

Since we cant have a negative length

w=4

l = 2w+2 = 2(4)+2 = 8+2 =10

If a rectangle is 2 meters more than its width, and the area of it is 80 square meters, what is the length and width?
bezimeni [28]
Ok I think it means that the length l of the rectangle is 2 m more than is width w...
The area is A=l*w=(w+2)*w=80
so: w^{2} +2w-80=0
Solving this equation (using the quadratic formula) you get 2 solutons. The only acceptable is the positive one, i.e. w=8 m, the length will then be l=w+2=8+2=10m.
