Answer:

105 = (w+8) *w

w = 7 cm

l = 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle is

A = l*w

l = w+8

105 = (w+8) *w

Distribute

105 = w^2 +8w

Subtract 105 from each side

105-105 = w^2 +8w -105

0 =w^2 +8w -105

Factor

What 2 number multiply to 105 and add to 8

15*-7 = -105

15-7 = 8

(w+15) (w-7) =0

Using the zero product property

w+15 =0               w-7 =0

w=-15                      w=7

impossible

not negative

w =7

l = 15

Answer:

Width: w

Length: w + 8

w(w + 8) = 105

w² + 8w - 105 = 0

w² + 15w - 7w - 105 = 0

w(w + 15) - 7(w + 15) = 0

(w + 15)(w - 7) = 0

w = -15, 7

width = 7cm

length = 7+8 = 15cm

For quadrilateral ABCD, determine the most precise name for it. A(-2,3), B(9,3), C(5,6) and D(2,6). Show your work and explain.
horsena [70]
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have the following points given in the problem above:

 A<span>(-2,3), B(9,3), C(5,6) and D(2,6)

 2. When you plot them, you obtain the figure shown in the graph attached. 

 3. Therefore, as you can see, the answer is:  the figure is a trapezoid, which is define as a quadrilateral with two parallel sides.</span>
