Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area A = 15square cm

Length L = x

Width w = x - 2

Area = L × w

15 = x(x - 2)

15 = x^2 -2x

x^2 -2x - 15 = 0

Solving by factorization

x^2 - 5x + 3x - 15 = 0

(x^2 -5x) + (3x -15) = 0

x(x - 5) + 3(x - 5) = 0

(x + 3)(x - 5) = 0

(x + 3) = 0 or (x - 5) = 0

x = -3 or 5

Since x can't be negative therefore x is 5cm

Length = 5cm

Width = 5-2 = 3cm

What is the value of x?
alexdok [17]
In this case, the vector is passing through a right angle as shown with the little square on the left side. (all right angles equal 90 degrees) so you would simply subtract 64 from 90. (90 - 64 = 26) so x equals 26 degrees.
