Answer: width = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangle.

The width of a rectangle is the length minus 2 units. It means that the width of the rectangle is (L - 2) units.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The area of the rectangle is 35 units. It means that

L(L - 2) = 35

L² - 2L = 35

L² - 2L - 35 = 0

L² + 5L - 7L - 35 = 0

L(L + 5) - 7(L + 5) = 0

L - 7 = 0 or L + 5 = 0

L = 7 or L = - 5

Since the length cannot be negative, then

L = 7 units

Width = 7 - 2 = 5 units

A park district is building an outdoor tennis court based on a scale drawing that measures 30cm long by 13.75 cm and uses the sc
Yuliya22 [10]

The actual area of the tennis court is 264 m²

First use the scale to find the actual dimensions of the court:

1 cm : 0.8m

30 cm in the drawing would be:

= 0.8 x 30

= 24 m outside

13.75cm in the drawing would be:

= 0.8 x 13.75

= 11 m outside

Area of a rectangle (which is what the dimensions resemble):

= Length x width

= 24 x 11

= 264 m²

In conclusion, the area of the tennis court is 264 m²
