Let w = width
then
5w-3 = length
w(5w-3) = 14
5w^2-3w = 14
5w^2-3w-14=0
(5w+7)(w-2) = 0
w = {-7/5, 2}
throw out the negative solution leaving
w = 2 centimeters
length:
5w-3 =5(2)-3 =10-3 = 7 centimeters

Answer:
14.24 foot far is the mirror from the base of the statue.
Step-by-step explanation:
Proportion states that the two ratios or fractions are equal.
As per the statement:
See the diagram as shown below:
Height of a boy = 5.9 foot tall
Height of a statue = 12 foot.
Distance of a boy from the mirror = 7 feet.
Let x be the distance of the mirror from the base of the statue.
then by definition of proportion we have;

Substitute the given values we have;

By cross multiply we have;

Divide both sides by 5.9 we have;
x = 14.24 ft
Therefore, 14.24 foot far is the mirror from the base of the statue.
What are the directions for this?
