Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

width = w

L = 5w - 6

w(5w - 6) = 18

5w^2 - 6w = 18

5w^2 - 6w - 18 = 0

Using the quadratic equation formula

x = 2.58997 and

x = -1.38997   This root cannot be. (No rectangle has a minus length.

w = 2.58997

L = 5*2.58997 - 6

L = 6.94985

w = 2.59

L = 6.95
