Answer: Length: 4, width: 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length be x and width be y
Then x=2y-8 and xy=24
Substitute to get 2y-8 * y = 24, so 2y^2-8y=24 or y^2-4y=12, then solve to get y=6 or y=-2. Since width is positive y=6.
Substitute y=6 into xy=24 to get x=4.
Length: 4, width: 6

Greetings!To find the length of any side of a
right triangle, you can use the
Pythagorean Thereom. It states that the squares of two sides are equal to the square of the hypotenuse:
Input the information from the diagram into the formula:
Expand each term:



Combine like terms:
Add -169 to both sides:

Factor out the Common Term (2):
Factor the Complex Trinomial:



Set Factors to equal
0:


or


However, since we are solving for the side length, the only possible answer is 5 (a shape can't have a side with a negative length.)
The Solution Is:

I hope this helped!
