The area of a rectangle is 14 m2 , and the length of the rectangle is 3 m less than double the width. find the dimensions of the

muminat

Width =3.5, length = 4

Let's make a few equations to summarize what we know.:
a = 14
l = 2w -3
a = wl

Now let's substitute the expression for l into the expression for area and solve.
a = w(2w - 3)
a = 2w^2 - 3w
14 = 2w^2 - 3w

0 = 2w^2 - 3w - 14

which factors into
(2w - 7) (w + 2)

Solving for w
2w - 7 = 0
2w = 7
w = 3.5

w+2 = 0
w = -2

So w can be either 3.5 or -2. Since a negative width doesn't make sense, w = 3.5

Let's verify
w = 3.5
l = 2w - 3
l = 2*3.5 - 3
l = 7 - 3
l = 4
a = wl
a = 3.5 * 4
a = 14

So the width is 3.5 and the length is 4.

Answer:

x = 14.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar means that the figures are proportional to each other. Because of this, we can form a problem. $\frac{9}{5}$ (the short side lengths) = $\frac{x}{8}$ (the long side lengths). Now we can solve this by cross-multiplying. If we multiply 9 · 8 we get 72, and 5 · x is 5x. 72 = 5x. Now divide both sides by 5. 72 ÷ 5 = 14.4. Therefore, x should be equal to 14.4. Does this make sense?
