Answer:

Length 37 cm, width 25 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original dimensions be length x and width x - 12 cms.

The new dimensions will be length (x - 2) and width (x - 12 - 2) = x-14 cm.

So , from the areas, we have:

x(x - 12) - (x - 2)(x - 14) = 120

x^2 - 12x  - (x^2 - 16x + 28) = 120

-12x + 16x - 28 = 120

4x = 148

x = 37 cms

So the length was 37 cm and the width was 37-12 = 25 cm.

okay so the problem is "A circle is centered at the point (-3,2) and passes through the point (1,5). The radius of the circle is
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

A circle is centered at the point (-3,2) and passes through the point (1,5). The radius of the circle is (5 ) units. the point (-7, -1) and point (-7, 5) lies in this circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

equation of circle is

(X-center_X)^2 + (y-center_Y)^2 = r^2

==> (x+3)^2 + (y-2)^2 = r^2

Now it passes 1,5 so

4^2+3^2 = 5^2

==> r = 5

when x = -7

y = -1 or 5
