The length of the rectangle in terms of the width, w, would be 2w - 4.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is length * width, or A = lw.
Given that the area of the rectangle is 96 m^2, we can set up the equation 96 = (2w - 4)w.
By trial and error or solving the equation, we can find that the width of the rectangle is 8 m and the length is 12 m.
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
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
