The length of the rectangle is 3 ft less than double the width, the area of the rectangle is 44 ft squared. what is the length and the width?

A=wl is the area of the rectangle but here’s a picture to show u this might help u with the length and width have a wonderful and nice day

We need to find the length, l, and the width, w. Let's set up the two equations with the information found in the question:

l = 2w - 3
w = w
A = 44

We know that area is equal to length * width (), so let's substitute those values





And we know that the area is equal to :



Now we set equal to 0 and factor in order to get w:




Then we set each factor equal to zero and solve for w. We get the two values:

and  for w.

We know that the width cannot be negative, so we take the value that is positive, 

So now we know that w = , so we plug in this value into the equation for the length:




 

So we now know that the length is 8, and the width is .
