Answer:

length : 10 yard

width: 14  yard

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be the length of the yard.

Since the width is 6 yards less than twice its length, we can say the width is 2l-6.

With width x length=area,

l (2l -6) = 140

2l^2 - 6l = 140

2l^2 - 6l - 140 = 0

Using the quadratic formula,

we can determine l = 10 or -7

since the length should not be negative,

the length is 10 yard.

Now substitute l=10 into 2l-6.

width = 2(10)-6

= 14 yard
