Answer:
Length = 9units
Width = 7units
Step-by-step explanation:
It is said that the length is 2units more than the width
Assume that the width is x, then the length will be 2 + x
ie
Width = x
Length = 2 + x
Area of the rectangle = 63units
Area of rectangle = l * b
l - length of the rectangle
b - width of the rectangle
A = l * b
63 = (2 + x) * x
63 = ( 2 + x) x
63 = 2x + x^2
Let's rearrange it
x^2 + 2x - 63 = 0
Let's find the factor of 63
A factor that can be multiplied to give -63 and that can be added to give +2
Let's use -7 and +9
x^2 - 7x + 9x - 63 = 0
Separate with brackets
( x^2 - 7x) + ( 9x - 63) = 0
x( x - 7) + 9(x - 7) = 0
( x + 9)(x - 7) = 0
( x + 9) = 0
( x - 7) = 0
x + 9 = 0
x = -9
x - 7 = 0
x = 7
Note: the length of a rectangle can not be negative
So therefore,
x = 7
Length = 2 + x
= 2 + 7
= 9units
Width = x
= 7units

Answer:
x is equal to 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the two horizontal lines are parallel, we know that the angles at which they intersect the diagonal line will be identical.
We also know that on either side of the diagonal line, the sum of the angles between that and either of the horizontal lines will be 180.
In short, we know that the two values given have a sum of 180. With that we can quickly solve for x:
(x + 67) + (x + 127) = 180
2x + 194 = 180
2x = -14
x = 7
