The other factor would be 9x
Answer:
x = 12
length = 4 cm
width = 20 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
a = lw
Plug in the givens
80 = (x - 8)(x + 8)
Multiply
80 = x^2 - 64
Add 64 to both sides
144 = x^2
Take the square root of both sides
x = ±12
(The negative root is extraneous since the dimensions can not be negative)
x = 12
length = x - 8 = 4 cm
width = x + 8 = 20 cm
Ok, so we need to take 60 x 60. That gives us 3600, which is the amount of seconds in 60 minutes. Then we need to take 3600 x 24, to figure out the number of seconds in 24 hours (1 full day). That gives us 86,400. Finally, we take 86400 x 365, to determine how many seconds are in 1 full year (365 days). That gives us the answer of <span>31536000. Hope this helps!</span>
