The length of a rectangle is 4 meters less than twice the width. if the area of the rectangle is 240 square meters, find the dimensions. how many meters is the length? how many meters is the width?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the length and W be the width.

The length of a rectangle is 4 meters less than twice the width.

That is

            L = 2W - 4

The area of the rectangle is 240 square meters

That is

        L x W = 240

        (2W - 4) x W = 240

         2W² - 4W = 240

         W² - 2W - 120 = 0

          (W -12 ) (W+10) = 0

         W = 12 m or W = -10 m

So width of rectangle is 12 meter

Length = 2 x 12 - 4 = 20 m

Length is 12 meter and width is 20 meter.

easy its decreasing

step-by-step explanation:

because its top point is at the to of the graph on the left side (atleast from the veiw i see it) now if that top point wast in the lower part of the graph it would be increasing hope this have a nice day
