The area of a rectangle is x squared minus x minus 2 and the length of the rectangle is x minus.
a. find the width of the rectangle.
b. Find the area of the rectangle of the width is 4 m

Since area = , then dimensions MUST be (x - 2) and (x + 1).
Now that you know this, determine its length. You can also determine the answer to "b."
Note that x MUST BE > 2.
