Length of the rectangle is 14 ft and width is 6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the width of the rectangle be x, then length = 8 + x. Find dimensions if area = 84 ft²

⇒ Area of the rectangle = length × width

⇒ 84 = x(8 + x) = 8x + x²

⇒ x² + 8x - 84 = 0

⇒ x² + 14x - 6x - 84 = 0 (Using product sum rule to factorize)

⇒ x(x + 14) - 6(x + 14) = 0

⇒ (x + 14)(x - 6) = 0

⇒ x = -14, +6 (negative value is neglected)

∴ x = 6 and x + 8 = 14

How can you tell if a fraction is a perfect square?
zimovet [89]

Answers: A fraction is a perfect square if it's reduced version (of an improper fraction if the number is greater than 1) has both numerator and denominator numbers that are perfect squares. IE: 25/36 is a perfect square because both 25 and 36 are perfect squares.

Step-by-step explanation:

So for example 5/25 is a perfect square but 2/5 wouldn't be a perfect square.
