A rectangle’s width is one-fourth of its length. Its area is 9 square units. The equation l(l) = 9 can be used to find l, the length of the rectangle.

Respuesta :

l*(1/4)l = 9

(1/4)l^2 = 9

l^2 = 36

l = 6

The length of the rectangle is 6 units.  :) Brainliest?

Answer:

the length of a rectangle(l) is, 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

[tex]l(w) =9[/tex]              ....[1]

As per the statement:

A rectangle’s width is one-fourth of its length.

⇒[tex]w = \frac{1}{4}l[/tex]

Substitute this in [1] we have;

[tex]l(\frac{1}{4}l) =9[/tex]

⇒[tex]\frac{1}{4}l^2 = 9[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 4 we have;

[tex]l^2 =36[/tex]

⇒[tex]l = \sqrt{36} = 6[/tex] units

Therefore, the length of a rectangle is, 6 units
