Answer:
the dimensions of the rectangle are 10 and 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
area of the rectangle, A = 70 m²
dimensions of the rectangle, = x - 11 and x - 8
The area of rectangle is calculated as;
A = L x B
70 = (x - 11)(x - 8)
70 = x² - 8x - 11x + 88
0 = x² - 8x - 11x + 88 - 70
0 = x² - 19x + 18
0 = x² - x - 18x + 18
0 = x(x - 1) -18(x - 1)
0 = (x - 18)(x - 1)
0 = x - 18 or
0 = x - 1
x = 18 or 1
The dimensions of the rectangle are calculated as;
L = 18 - 11 = 7
B = 18 - 8 = 10
Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle are 10 and 7.
