The length of the playground is 13 yards.
A = l × w
where 'l' represents the length of the rectangle
'w' represents the width of the rectangle
For given example,
area of rectangular courtyard = 104 square yard
Let the length of the playground be l cm and the width be w cm.
Then, l = 2w - 3
The area of a rectangle is,
[tex]A=l\times w\\\\104=(2w-3)\times w\\\\104=2w^2-3w\\\\2w^2-3w-104=0\\\\w=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac} }{2a} \\\\w=\frac{3\pm\sqrt{9-4(2)(-104)} }{4} \\\\w=\frac{3\pm\sqrt{841} }{4} \\\\w=\frac{3\pm29}{4}\\\\w=\frac{3+29}{4} \text{ or } w=\frac{3-29}{4}\\\\w=\frac{32}{4}\\\\w=8\\\\[/tex]
So, the width of the playground is 8 cm.
Now, we find the length of the rectangular playground.
[tex]l=2w-3\\\\l=2(8)-3\\\\l=16-3\\\\l=13~yards[/tex]
Therefore, the length of the playground is 13 yards.
