Answer:
the length=8
the rectangle=5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
+)convention:
the lengt=a
the width = b => the area of the rectangle = a.b=44m^2 (1)
+) "the length of the rectangle is 3m less than twice the width"
=> 2b-a = 3 (m)
=> a=2b-3
substitute a for (1), we get
the area of the rectangle = a.b = (2b-3).b=44 m^2
=> 2b^2-3b-44=0
=> b=-4 (wrong)
=> b= 5.5 =the width
the lengt = the area of the rectangle/the width=44/5.5=8 m
