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
