Answer:
width is 4
height is 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Area=½ width × height
let the width be x
height will be 6x - 4
40 = ½ × x × (6x - 4)
40 = 2/2 × 3x² - 2x
40 = 3x² - 2x
3x² - 2x - 40 = 0
3x² -12x + 10x - 40 = 0
3x(x-4) + 10(x-4) = 0
(3x + 10)(x - 4) = 0
x = -10/3 or 4
dimension cannot be negative
x is 4
6x-4= 6(4) - 4
24 - 4
20
