Let the width be x.
Length is 8 feet more than width. Length = x + 8
Area = x(x + 8)
width increased by 4, that is, (x + 4)
Length decreased by 5, (x + 8 - 5) = (x + 3)
Area = (x + 4)(x +3)
Area remains the same
x(x + 8) = (x+4)(x +3)
x² + 8x = x(x +3) + 4(x +3)
x² + 8x = x² +3x + 4x +12
x² + 8x = x² +7x +12 Eliminate x² from both sides
8x = 7x + 12
8x - 7x = 12
x = 12
Dimensions of original rectangle : x, x + 8
12, 12 +8 = 12, 20
Original rectangle is 20 feet by 12 feet

Answer:
30degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Exterior angle m<CDE = 7x - 19 degrees
interior angles are
m<BCD = 2x - 1
m<DBC = x+10
Since the sum of the interior angles is equal to the exterior, hence;
2x - 1 + x+10 = 7x - 19
3x + 9 = 7x - 19
3x - 7x = -19 - 9
-4x = -28
x = 28/4
x = 7
Get m<CDE
m<CDE = 7x - 19
m<CDE = 7(7) - 19
m<CDE = 49 - 19
m<CDE = 30degrees
