Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width=x

Length =6x-4

As we know that in a rectangle

{\boxed{\sf Area=LB}}

  • Substitute the values

\hookrightarrow\sf x (6x-4)=20

\hookrightarrow\sf 6x^2-4x=20

\hookrightarrow\sf 6x^2-4x-20=0

  • Here a=6, b=-4, c=-20.
  • use quadratic formula

\hookrightarrow\sf x=\dfrac {1}{3}+\dfrac {1}{3}\sqrt {31} \quad or \quad \dfrac {1}{3}+\dfrac {-1}{3}\sqrt {31}

Distance between (0,2) and (0,4)
Lorico [155]
There are many ways to do this, I prefer the distance formula it looks like this:
\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}
We are given 2 pairs of coordinates: (0,2) and (0,4) 
0=x1
2=y1
0=x2
4=y2
We take the numbers and sub in the values above in place of the variables:
  \sqrt{(0-0)^2+(4-2)^2}
Simplfy it: 
\sqrt{(0)^2+(2)^2}
0^2=0
2^2=4
We are left with :
\sqrt{4}
\sqrt{4} =2
Final answer: 2
