(1) The area of the rectangle is 88 square inches

(3) The equation x² – 3x – 88 = 0 can be used to solve for the length of the rectangle.

(4) The triangle has a base of 11 inches and a height of 8 inches.

Area of the rectangle

Area of a rectangle is the sum of the area of two equal right triangle.

Area of rectangle = 2(area of right triangle)

Area of rectangle = 2(44 sq inches) = 88 sq inches

Total area of the triangle with respect to length and width of the rectangle

Let the length = x

then the width becomes, x - 3

Area = x(x - 3) = 88

x² - 3x = 88

x² - 3x - 88 = 0

x = 11

width = 11 - 3 = 8

Thus, the statements that are true include;

  • The area of the rectangle is 88 square inches
  • The equation x² – 3x – 88 = 0 can be used to solve for the length of the rectangle.
  • The triangle has a base of 11 inches and a height of 8 inches.
