Answer:

Therefore,

Length=12\ cm

Width= 7\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Width of rectangle be 'x' cm.

Then the length of a rectangle will be (x + 5) cm.

Area of rectangle given is 84 cm squared.

To Find:

Length = (x+5) = ?

Width = x = ?

Solution:

We have area of rectangle given as

\textrm{Area of Rectangle}=Length\times Width

Substituting the given values we get

84=(x+5)x\\x^{2} +5x-84=0\\

On factorizing we get

x^{2} +12x-7x-84=0\\x(x+12)-7(x+12)=0\\(x+12)(x-7)=0\\(x+12)=0\ or\ (x-7)=0\\x=-12\ or\ x=7\\\therefore x =7\ cm\ \textrm{As x cannot be negative}

Therefore,

Length=x+5=7+5=12\ cm

Therefore,

Length=12\ cm

Width= 7\ cm
