Length = 6x - 12
Width = x
Area of a rectangle:
A = length x width
3744 = (x)(6x - 12)
3744 = 6x^2 - 12x
6x^2 - 12x - 3744 = 0
Use the quadratic equation to solve for x. The two solutions end up being 26 and -24. Since length is a scalar measurement, it can only be positive. Thus, the value of x is equal to 26 inches.
Width = 26 inches
Length = 6(26) - 12 = 144 inches
Hope this helps!! :)
Answer:
x = 48
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Area = Lateral Area + Area of the Ends
Total Area = Height * Width * Number of Sides + Area of the 2 ends
