Set up an equation. Make the length x and you can make the width x-5. In order to fir the width is 5 feet smaller than the length. Now the formula for area is length times width. So plug in what you know.
x(x-5)=14 distribute the x
X^2-5x=14 move the 14 over
X^2-5x-14=0 use factoring to figure out
(X-7)(X+2)=0
Now x can equal 7 and negative 2
Since the length cannot be negative we get rid of negative 2
So we have x equals 7 plug that in. We get length =7 and width =2

Hello There!

Area = l x w
14 = x * x - 5
Multiples of 14:
1 and 14
7 and 2
7 and 2 are the only ones with a difference of 5.

Therefore, the length is 7ft and the width is 2ft.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)

If an isoceles triangle has one angle that measures 38 degrees. What is the measurement of the other angles?
Ahat [919]
In an isosceles triangle, two of the angles are equal. And, a triangle’s three angles add up to 180.
So: if an isosceles triangle has one angle measuring 38 degrees, it also has another angle measuring 38 degrees. To find the measure of the third angle, subtract from 180 the sum of the two other angles. Like this: 180 - (38+38). Then solve it: 180 - 76 = 104.
So: the angles are 38 degrees, 38 degrees, and 104 degrees.
