Answer:

Width of the rectangle =  6.7 ft

length of the rectangle = 10.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCD is the rectangle.

AB = length of the rectangle = 4 + x ft

BC = width of the rectangle = x ft

AC = Diagonal of the rectangular field = 12 ft

Since ΔABC is the Right angle triangle. So

AC^{2} = AB^{2} + BC^{2}

12^{2} = (4 + x)^{2} + x^{2}

144 = x^{2} + 16 + x^{2} + 8 x

144 = 2x^{2} + 8x + 16

x^{2} + 4x -72 = 0

By solving above equation we get

x = 6.7 ft

Thus is the width of the rectangle.

And length of the rectangle = 4 + x

⇒ 4 + 6.7

⇒ 10.7 ft
