Let width of the floor be x feet, them area is
x(x+2)  = 168
x^2 + 2x - 168 = 0
(x - 12)(x + 14) - 0
so x = 12
the floor is 12 ft by 10 ft

the width of the rug should be 10 - 2(2) = 6 feet

Answer:

  AE = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to find corresponding sides that are defined in both figures. The table below shows the given values.

From the table, we can write the proportion ...

  EA/RS = BC/TU . . . corresponding sides are proportional

  EA/6 = 4/8 . . . . . . . substitute given lengths

  EA = 6(4/8) = 3

The length of AE is 3 units.
