The width of the rectangle is [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] unit
Step-by-step explanation:
The given is:
We need to find the width of the rectangle
Assume that the width of the rectangle is x units
∵ The area of the rectangle = length × width
∵ The width of the rectangle = x units
∵ The length of the rectangle = 19 units
∴ The area of the square = 19 × x = 19 x units²
∵ The width of the rectangle is 4 less than its area
- That means subtract 4 from the area to find the width
∴ x = 19 x - 4
- Subtract 19 x from both sides
∴ -18 x = -4
- Divide both sides by -18
∴ x = [tex]\frac{-4}{-18}[/tex]
- Reduce the fraction by dividing up and down by -2
∴ x = [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex]
The width of the rectangle is [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] unit
