The length of a rectangle is four meters less than twice its width.

Question

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___

area=1/2(lxw), l=4-2w, l=12&w=8, l=8&x=12, area=2l+2w, l=2w-4, w=2l-4, l=24&w=4, area=lxw, l=4&w=24

Answer 1

-An expression for the length of the rectangle in terms of the width would be: l = 2w - 4
-The formula for the area of a rectangle is: area = length x width
-Using trial and error, if the area is 96 m^2, then the length and width are: length = 12 meters, width = 8 meters.
