Answer:

The length of the rectangle = 20

The width of the rectangle = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(l):-

let 'W' be the width of the rectangle

Given the length of a rectangle is 4 more than 2 times its width

length of a rectangle(L) = 4+2W

Given the Area of rectangle = 160

Step(ii):-

we know that the area of the triangle = length ×width

                                              (4+2w)w= 160

                                          [tex]2w^{2} +4w-160=0[/tex]

                                         [tex]2(w^{2} +2w- 80)=0[/tex]

                                         [tex]w^{2} +10w-8w- 80=0[/tex]

                                        [tex]w(w +10)-8(w+10)=0[/tex]

                                        [tex](w+10)(w-8) =0[/tex]

                                          [tex]w+10=0 , w-8=0[/tex]

                                          w = -10 and w =8

Step(lll)

we can choose the width is 'w' = 8

now the length of the rectangle = 4+2(8) = 20

The width of the rectangle is '8'

Conclusion:-

The length of the rectangle = 20

The width of the rectangle = 8
