<span>length = L
</span>width = w

L = (5w-2) cm

w(5w-2)=16 \\ 5w^2-2w-16=0 \\ D=b^2-4ac=(-2)^2-4*5*(-16)=324 \\ w_{1,2}= \frac{-bб \sqrt{D} }{2a}  \\ w_1= \frac{2- \sqrt{324} }{2*5}= \frac{2-18}{10}=-1.6 \ \ \O \\ w_2=  \frac{2+18}{10}=2 cm

width = 2 cm
length = 5w-2 = 5*2-2 = 8 cm

How to do proportions?
finlep [7]
Solving proportions is simply a matter of stating the ratios as fractions, setting the two fractions equal to each other, cross-multiplying, and solving the resulting equation. You'll probably start out by just solving proportions, like this: Find the unknown value in the proportion: 2 : x = 3 : 9.

What is the answer to this question
Lesechka [4]

Remark

There's a lot you don't know here. Are DE and GF parallel? Is B a right angle? You can't assume that it is. The safest way to proceed is to give x in terms of 58 and B. You might get an answer that gives you something like 32 but I don't think you can say that unless you are told somewhere that ABC is a right angle triangle with the right angle at B.

So what to do.

<BAC = 58o                               That's because <BAC = <IAK They vertically opposite.

<ABC + <BAC + <ACB = 180o       All triangles have 180o

<ACB = 180 - 58 - <ABC                Solve for an unknown angle of a triangle.

<ACB = 122 - <ABC

x = <ACB                                       Vertically opposite angles.

x = 122 - <ABC                             Answer  It's 32 if ABC is a right angle.
