Answer: length = 8 units

Width = 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangular garden.

Let W represent the width of the rectangular garden.

The length of a rectangle is 2 units more than the width. This means that

L = W + 2

The area of the rectangle is 48 units. This means that

LW = 48- - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting L = W + 2 into equation 1, it becomes

W(W + 2) = 48

W² + 2W = 48

W² + 2W - 48 = 0

W² + 8W - 6W - 48 = 0

W(W + 8) - 6(W + 8) = 0

W - 6 = 0 or W + 8 = 0

W = 6 or W = 8

Since the width of the rectangle cannot be negative, then W = 6

L = W + 2 = 6 + 2

L = 8

Answer:

b, c, a

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the largest angle is opposite the longest side. The smallest angle is opposite the shortest side.

This triangle has 2 given angles, 50° and 60°.

We can find the measure of the third angle, x.

50 + 60 + x = 180

x + 110 = 180

x = 70

The three angles have measures 50°, 60°, and 70°.

The shortest side is opposite the smallest angle. That is side a.

The longest side is opposite the largest angle. That is side b.

The order from longest to shortest is

b, c, a
