Answer:
The length of the rectangle 'l' = 20
The width of the rectangle 'w' = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Explanation</u>:-
Let 'x' be the width
Given data the length of a rectangular patio is 8 feet less than twice its width
2x-8 = length
The area of rectangle = length X width
Given area of rectangle = 280 square feet
x(2x-8) = 280
2(x)(x-4) =280
x(x-4) =140
x^2 -4x -140=0
x^2-14x+10x-140=0
x(x-14)+10(x-14)=0
(x+10)(x-14) =0
x = -10 and x = 14
we can choose only x =14
The width of the rectangle 14
The length of the rectangle 2x-8 = 2(14)-8 = 28 -8 =20
The length of the rectangle 'l' = 20
The width of the rectangle 'w' = 14

Answer:
A diagonal of this rectangle has length 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertices (-4, 4) and (-4, -4) have the same x-coordinate (-4) and different y-coordinates (4 and -4). These two points are the endpoints of a vertical side of the rectangle which has length 4 - (-4) = 8.
Similarly, the vertices (2, -4) and (-4, -4) have the same y-coordinate (-4) but different x-coordinates (2 and -4). To find the horizontal dimension of the rectangle, we calculate 2 - (-4), which comes out to 6.
Thus, the width of the rectangle is 6 and the length is 8.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we find the length of a diagonal as follows:
d = √(6^2 + 8^2) = √(36 + 64) = √100 = 10.
A diagonal of this rectangle has length 10.
I believe the answer is 80 out of the 200 pay less than $5
hope this helps somehow
