asked • 02/20/19The area of a rectangle is 27 square meters. If the length is 6 meters less than 3 times the width, then find the dimensions of the rectangle. Round off your answers to the nearest hundredth.

w(3w-6) = 27
3w^2 - 6w - 27 = 0
w^2 - 2s - 9 = 0
w = [2 + 2*sqrt( 10)] / 2 = 1 + sqrt(10) = 4.16
L = 6.49
