Answer:

l=31\ cm\\\\w=24\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that is used to calculate the area of a rectangle is:

A=lw

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

You know that the area of that rectangle is:

A=744\ cm^2

And, according to the exercise, its lenght is 7 more than its width; then:

l=w+7

Then, you can make the corresponding substitution into the formula A=lw:

 744=(w+7)w

Simplify:

744=w^2+7w\\\\w^2+7w-744=0

Factor the equation. Find two numbers whose sum is 7 and whose product is -744. These are 31 and -24.

Then, you get:

(w-24)(w+31)=0\\\\w_1=24\\\\w_2=-31

The width of the rectangle is the positive value:

w=24\ cm

Then, the lenght is:

l=24+7\\\\l=31\ cm

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: The road, crucifix/cross, sidewalks, railroads, and so much more.

Step-by-step explanation: Roads are parallel so that everyone can get to the same place in different lanes. This is important because lines that aren't parallel will inevitably meet, meaning that a highway would eventually merge its two lanes. This happens, but most of the highway is parallel. The same is true of sidewalks and railroads. The crucifix/cross is a Christian symbol, and while I'm not Christian, I'm sure it's important to a lot of people who are.
