The area of the rectangle is 44m squared, the short side is 3 2/3m, what is the long side

l≈14.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of Rectangle is 3 cm less than twice the width

Area is 44 m2; let W = width; 2W - 3 = Length

Arect = L times W

44 = W (2W - 3)

44 = 2W2 - 3W

0 = 2W2 - 3W - 44

Factoring

0 = (2W - 11) (W + 4)

2W - 11 = 0; W + 4 = 0

W = 11/2 W = - 4 (width can not be a negative number)
