Length = 2x - 5

Width = x

Perimeter = 146

P = 2L + 2W

146 = 2(2x - 5) + 2x

146 = 4x - 10 + 2x

146 = 6x - 10

146 + 10 = 6x

156 = 6x

156/6 = x

26 = x

Length = 2(26) - 5

Length = 52 - 5

Length = 47 cm

Width = x

Width = 26 cm

The length of a rectangle is 5959 inches greatergreater than twice the width. if the diagonal is 2 inches more than the​ length,
lorasvet [3.4K]

Length: 2w + 59

width: w

diagonal: (2w + 59) + 2  = 2w + 61

Length² + width² = diagonal²

(2w + 59)² + (w)² = (2w + 61)²

(4w² + 118w + 3481) + w²  = 4w² + 122w + 3721

5w² + 118w + 3481 = 4w² + 122w + 3721

w² + 118w + 3481 = 122w + 3721

w² - 4w + 3481 = 3721

w² - 4w - 240 = 0

a = 1, b = -4, c = -240

w = [-(b) +/- \sqrt{(b)^{2}  - 4(a)(c) }]/2(a)

 = [-(-4) +/- \sqrt{(-4)^{2}  - 4(1)(-240) }]/2(1)

   =  [4 +/- \sqrt{(16  + 960) }]/2        

  = [4 +/- \sqrt{(976) }]/2  

  = [2 +/- 4\sqrt{(61) }]/2  

  = 1 +/- 2\sqrt{(61) }

since width cannot be negative, disregard  1 - 2√61

w = 1 + 2√61  ≈ 16.62

Length: 2w + 59  =  2(1 + 2√61) + 59  = 2 + 4√61 + 59  =  61 + 4√61  ≈ 92.24

Answer: width = 16.62 in, length = 92.24 in
