The length of a rectangle is 4 more than the width. the area of the rectangle is 60 square yards. what is the length of the rectangle? rectangle equals length let w = width and 4 + w = length. which equation represents the situation?

10 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The length of a rectangle is 4 more than the width.

            The area of the rectangle is 60 square yards.

To Find: What is the length of the rectangle?

Solution:

Let the width be w

Since we are given that the length of a rectangle is 4 more than the width.

So, Length =w+4

Area of rectangle =

Area of rectangle =

Since we are given that  area of the rectangle is 60 square yards.

So,

Since width cannot be negative

So, Width of rectangle is 6 yards

The length of the rectangle = w+4= 6+4=10 yards

Hence the length of the rectangle is 10 yards.

it is a. 4.2 because 7.6-3.4 gets the remaining length of 4.2. i might be wrong but i am pretty sure this is the answer.
