Width =3.5, length = 4

Let's make a few equations to summarize what we know.:
a = 14
l = 2w -3
a = wl

Now let's substitute the expression for l into the expression for area and solve.
a = w(2w - 3)
a = 2w^2 - 3w
14 = 2w^2 - 3w

0 = 2w^2 - 3w - 14

which factors into
(2w - 7) (w + 2)

Solving for w
2w - 7 = 0
2w = 7
w = 3.5

w+2 = 0
w = -2

So w can be either 3.5 or -2. Since a negative width doesn't make sense, w = 3.5

Let's verify
w = 3.5
l = 2w - 3
l = 2*3.5 - 3
l = 7 - 3
l = 4
a = wl
a = 3.5 * 4
a = 14

So the width is 3.5 and the length is 4.

Sketch the points (0,5,2),(4,0,-1),(2,4,6) and(1,-1,2) o a single set of coordinate axes?
nordsb [41]

Explanation:

As points have three coordinates i.e. x, y and z hence the sketch of the given four points is drawn in 3D shape and for that picture is attached here with this answer.

Points are given in the format as below

(value of x-coordinate , value of y-coordinate , value of z-coordinate)

In the attachment:

Point A = (0,5,2) (in blue color)

Point B = (4,0,-1) (in purple color)

Point C = (2,4,6) (in orange color)

Point D = (1,-1,2) (in black color)
