The length of a rectangle is 8.34 centimeters. If the width of the rectangle is reduced by 4.2 centimeters, the area of the modified rectangle becomes 49.5 centimeters. Part A Write an equation to represent the area of the modified rectangle.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = 8.34cm

Let the width of the rectangle be x cm.

Modified Width = (x-4.2 )cm

Area of the rectangle = L * W

                           49.5 = 8.34 * (x-4.2)
