Answer:

the short side is equal to 2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

24 = (2x)*(x-4) = 2x² -8x

you'll just use solve on your calculator and get that the x is equal to -2 or 6

which means the short side must be equal to 2

Answer:

  • 2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Sides are:</u>

  • x - 4 and 2x

<u>The area is the product of the long and short sides:</u>

  • 2x(x - 4) = 24
  • x(x - 4) = 12
  • x² - 4x = 12
  • x² - 4x + 4 = 16
  • (x - 2)² = 4²
  • x - 2 = 4
  • x = 6

<u>The short side is:</u>

  • x - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2 ft
