Answer:
- The length = x = 15 units
- The width = x-5 = 10 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'x' be the length of a rectangle
As the width of a rectangle is 5 units less than the length.
so
width of rectangle will be = w = x - 5 units
Area = 150 square units
Using the formula
Area = length × width
Subtract 50 from both sides
if
As length can not be negative. so
x = 15 units
Hence,
The length = x = 15 units
The width = x-5 = 15-5 = 10 units
There is no solution to this problem
Check the picture below. So the parabola looks more or less like so.
let's recall that the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix, at "p" units away from both.
Let's notice that the focus point is below the directrix, that means the parabola is vertical, namely the squared variable is the "x", and it also means that it's opening downwards as you see in the picture, namely that "p" is negative, in this case "p" is 1 unit, and thus is -1.
