Answer:
Width is 4cm, length is 12 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Write the problem as an equation.
(x+12)*(x)=48
Where x is the length of the shorter side.
Solve.
(x^2)+12x=48
x=4
Negative dividing by negative gives positive,
so 18:9=2
3.5 because you turn the negative into the positive and add the 1.5
53 - 2(3)
53 - 6
47
Hope this helps!
