Let W = width and L = length  length is 3 less than twice width  ==>  L = 2*W - 3 Area = L*W = (2*W-3)*W = 14 
2*W^2 -3*W - 14 = 0
(2W - 7)*(W + 2) = 0 
2W - 7 = 0  or  W + 2 = 0
W = 7/2  or  W = -2
Width cannot be negative so W = 7/2 = 3.5
So L = 2*(7/2) - 3 = 7 - 3 = 4 The length is 4 m and the width is 3.5 m   Check:  2*(3.5) - 3 = 4, length is 3 less than twice width
 
Area = L*W = 4*3.5 = 14 m^2

Describe and correct the error in finding the area of a sector with a radius of 6 centimeters and a central angle of 40
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

12.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Since we don't have anything other than the question, all I can do is answer the question. You are left with the task of figuring out the error.

Formula

Area = (central angle divided by 360 ) * pi r^2

Solution

Area = (40 /360) * 3.14 * 6^2

Area = 1/9 * 3.14 * 36

Area = 4 * 3.14

Area = 12.56
