An expression for the length of the rectangle in terms of the width would be 2w - 4.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is length times width. So, the formula for the area of this rectangle would be lw = 96.
Using trial and error, if the area is 96 m^2, then the length and width could be 8 and 12, respectively. Another option could be 12 and 8.
If the length is 4 meters less than twice its width, then the length would be 2w - 4. In this case, the length would be 16 - 4 = 12 and the width would be 8.
So, the length and width of the rectangle could be 12 meters and 8 meters, respectively.
The length of a rectangle is four meters less than twice its width.
If the area of the rectangle is 96 m^2, what is the length and the width?
An expression for the length of the rectangle in terms of the width would be
J The formula for the area of a rectangle is
Using trial and error, if the area is 96 m^2, then the length and width are
:: area (1xw)
1-4-2w
112&w=8
1=8&w=12
"area 21 + 2w
1-2w-4
=w=21-4
l=24&w 4
area=1xw
::l=4&w= 24
