A rectangular table for the dining room has a surface area of 24 square feet. The length is two more feet than twice the width of the table. Find the length and width of the table.

The rectangular table has a width of 3cm and a length of 8cm.

The area of a rectangle = length x width

w = width

length = 2 + 2w

(2 + 2w) x w = 24

To determine the dimensions, take the following steps:

expand the bracket

2w + 2w² = 24

2w + 2w - 24 = 0

2w(w + 4) ; -6(w + 4)

w is either 6/2 = 3

or - 4

Dimensions cannot be negative so the width is 3

Length = 2 + 2(3)

2 + 6 = 8 feet

Factorise the above expression

W=3 feet, L=8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

W=W

L=2W+2

W(2W+2)=24

2W²+2W=24

2W²+2W-24=0, now factor

(2W+8)(W-3)=0

2W+8=0, 2W=-8, w=-4 ; dimension can't be negative

W-3=0, W=3, W = 3 feet

L=2(3)+2 = L = 8 feet

6 (3) - 4 + 32

the sum of all the angles in a triangle are equal to 180

so you can add   the 3 given angles together to equal 180:

5y + 2y + 2y = 180

or since all three angles have the same letter, combine the 3 angles to equal 180:

9y = 180
