Area = Length * Width = l * w
l = x + 2
w = 2x - 5
Area = (x + 2)(2x - 5) = 56
Area = 2x^2 -x  - 10 = 56
Area = 2x^2 - x - 66 = 0 Now you have to factor this thing.
Area = (2x + 11)( x - 6) = 0 This is more or less done by guessing. 
2x + 11 = 0 can't work. x would be negative.
x - 6 = 0
x = 6.

Check
=====
l = x + 2
l = 6 + 2
l = 8

w = 2*x - 5
w = 2*6 - 5
w = 12 - 5
w = 7

l*w = 8*7 = 56. It checks.

PTG has side lengths of 18 cm, 27 cm, and 13 cm. which type of triangle is PTG? The answer is obtuse.
Verizon [17]
To know what kind of triangle is it. use the pythagorean theorem:
A^2 + B^2 = C^2,
where C is the longest side of the triangle 
if it satisfies the equation then it is a right triangle
if it does not then A^2 + B^2 > C^2 so it is acute triangle
if A^2 + B^2 < C^2 it is obtuse triangle

18^2 + 13^2 ? 27^2
324 + 169 ? 729
493 < 729 so it is obtuse triangle
