Answer:

Length = x - 4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length × width

Area of a rectangle = x² - 16

width of the rectangle = x + 4 meters.

Length of the rectangle = ?

Recall:

Difference of two perfect square x² - 16 = (x + 4)(x - 4)

Area of a rectangle = length × width

(x + 4)(x - 4) = length * x + 4

Length = (x + 4)(x - 4) ÷ x + 4

Length = x - 4 meters
