the width of a rectangle is 2 m less than the length. if the area of the rectangle is 48sq meters. what is the length and width ​

Sagot :

If the length= v
Then the width=v-2

Area= length x width
48= v(v-2)
48= v^2 -2v
v^2 -2v -48=0
(v-8)(v+6)=0
then v= 8 and v=-6
Since length cannot be negative so v=8
And width=v-2
= 8-2=6

So length= 8 m
Width= 6 m
