Answer:
Length = 22.98 feet
Width = 9.66 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the rectangle be L.
Let the width of the rectangle be W.
Given the following data;
Area of rectangle = 222 feet²
Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;
L = 3W - 6 ...... equation 1
We know that the area of a rectangle is given by the formula;
A = L * W
Substituting
222 = L * W ....equation 2
Substituting eqn 1 into eqn 2, we have;
222 = (3W - 6) * W
222 = 3W² - 6W
Rearranging the equation, we have;
3W² - 6W - 222 = 0
Next, we would use the quadratic formula to solve for the roots.
Note: the standard form of a quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c = 0
a = 3, b = -6 and c = -222
Solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula;
The quadratic equation formula is;
Substituting into the equation, we have;
x1 = 9.66
We do not need the negative value of x, so we proceed.
Therefore, Width, W = x1 = 9.66 feet
For the length;
L = 3W - 6
L = 3(9.66) - 6
L = 28.98 - 6
L = 22.98 feet
