Tyler cut a 4018-inch board into 3 pieces of equal length. he then cut 334 inches off of each piece to make smaller boards.
what is the length of each of the smaller boards?

The length of the boards are 1005.3 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

4018÷3=1339.3

13393.3-334=1005.3

Let me know if you need more of an explanation

Let w = the width of the rectangle

Let w - 9 = the length of the rectangle

A = lw

220 = w(w - 9)

220 = w2 - 9w

w2 - 9w - 220 = 0

(w - 20)(w + 11) = 0

w - 20 = 0     or     w + 11 = 0

w = 20 cm    or     x = -11, illogical answer

w - 9 = 20 - 9 = 11 cm
