Answer:
- length: 24 ft
- width: 42 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The area is the product of length and width. If L represents the length, then the width is (2L -6), and the area is ...
L(2L -6) = 1008
L² -3L -504 = 0 . . . . . divide by 2, put in standard form
(L -24)(L +21) = 0 . . . . factor
L = 24 . . . . makes the first factor zero
W = 2L -6 = 2(24) -6 = 42
The length of the rectangle is 24 feet; the width is 42 feet.
