Let weigth of rectangle be w length of rectangle be 2w−4 Area of rectangle =70 sq. feetask lenght×weight=70 (2w−4)w=70 2w2−4w=70 2w2−4w−70=0 w2−2w−35=0 w2−(7−5)w−35=0 w2−7w+5w−35=0 w(w−7)+5(w−7)=0 (w−7)(w+5)=0 w=7,−5 w=−5 is not possible [width cannot be negtive] ⇒width of rectangle=7ft ⇒Length of rectangle=(2×7)−4 =14−4 =10ft
Explanation: Let w−widthArea=(length)(width)(2w−4)(w)=702w2−4w=70w2−2w=35w2−2w−35=0(w−7)(w+5)=0So w=7 or w=−5 w=−5 isn't viable because measurements have to be above zero.
