The length and width of the rectangle is 11 in and 8 in respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The width of a rectangle is 3 in less than the length.

The area of each congruent right angle triangle = 44 in²

To find the length and width of the rectangle.

Formula

The area of a triangle with b base and h as height = \frac{1}{2}bh

Now,

Let, the width = x and the length = x+3.

Here, for the triangle, width will be its base and length will be its height.

According to the problem,

\frac{1}{2}×(x+3)×x = 44

or, x^{2} +3x = 88

or,x^{2} +3x-88 = 0

or, x^{2}+(11-8)x-88 = 0

or, x^{2}+11x-8x-88 =0

or, x(x+11)-8(x+11) = 0

or, (x+11)(x-8) = 0

So, x = 8 ( x≠-11, the length or width could no be negative)

Hence,

Width = 8 in and length = 8+3 = 11 in

Vikki [24]
The first thing you should do in this case is to write the expression correctly:
 - (1/9) y + (1/3)
 Now, we take out common factor (1/9) obtaining:
 1/9 (-y + 3)
 Let's check:
 1/9 (-y + 3)
 -1/9y + 3/9
 -1/9y + 1/3
 OK
