Answer:

Width = 2

Length = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

let A be the area of the rectangle

   L be the length of the rectangle

   w be the width of the rectangle

<u><em>Formula</em></u>: ‘<u><em>area of a rectangle</em></u>’

A = L × w

…………………………………………………

A = L × w

⇔ 10 = (w + 3) × w

⇔ 10 = w² + 3w

⇔ w² + 3w - 10 = 0  

<u><em>Solving the quadratic equation</em></u> w² + 3w - 10 =  0 :

Δ = 3² - 4(1)(-10) = 9 - (-40) = 9 + 40 = 49

then √Δ = 7

\Longrightarrow w=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta } }{2a} =\frac{-3+7}{2} =2

  or\ w=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta } }{2a} =\frac{-3-7}{2} =-5

-5 is not valid ,because w represents the width

which must be a positive number

Then  w = 2

<u><em>Conclusion</em></u>:

Width = 2

Length = 2 + 3 = 5

gregori [183]

(3 + i)(4 + 5i) \\ 12 + 15i + 4i + 5 {i }^{2}  \\ 12 + 19i - 5 \\ 7 + 19i

Therefore, a is 7 aka real part and b is 19 which is imaginary part.

A statement can help you organize the numbers to answer a question about percents
Semenov [28]

Answer:

<u> $50</u> is <u>27.02%</u> of <u>$185</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Money spent on clothing = $50

Money spent on Groceries = $100

Money spent on Gas = $35

Total money spent = $185

Our question is to find the percentage of total money that is spent on clothing.

Percentage money on clothing = \frac{Money spent on clothing}{Total money} × 100

                                                   = \frac{50}{185} × 100

                                                   = 27.02% (approx)

Hence,<u> $50</u> is <u>27.02%</u> of <u>$185</u>.
