We know from the problem that l = 3w - 5. We also know the formula for area is A = w * l. Therefore, the area of the rectangle is A = w * (3w - 5). We can then set this equation equal to 50 as the question states and solve for w.

50 = w*(3w - 5)

Expand the multiplication
50 = 3w^2 - 5w

Subtract 50 from both sides.
0 = 3w^2 - 5w - 50

We now have a quadratic equation and can solve it using the quadratic formula to find w. We find that the solutions to the equation are 5 and -3.3. We know that the width can't be negative, so the width must be 5.

Finally, we can plug this solution into the length formula we found earlier to solve for length.
l = 3w - 5

Plug in the solution to w.
l = 3(5) - 5

Multiply 3 and 5.
l = 15 - 5

Subtract 5
l = 10

Therefore the width is 5 and the length is 10.

Explain how proving two triangles congruent can help prove parts of the triangle congruent.
Ierofanga [76]
You can use the CPCTC (Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent) property. This means that when two triangles are congruent, all the corresponding parts are congruent to each other.

Have an awesome day! :)
