Area of paralellogram=legnth times height

l=legnth
h=height
area=96

lh=96

h is 4 less than l
h=-4+l
sub
l(-4+l)=96
-4l+l^2=96
minus 96 both sides
l^2-4l-96=0
factor
(l-12)(x+8)=0
set to zero
l-12=0
l=12

l+8=0
l=-8, imossible, legnth cannot be negative, disreagard this soultion

legnth=12cm

The area of a parallelogram is height multiplied by base. we know the height is 4cm less than length and we want length. let's put everything we know in terms of equations:
l(h) = 96
h = l-4
l is the length and h is the height. now we just need to solve for l. since we don't care about h, we can substitute h= l-4 into lh = 96:
l(l-4) = 96
now we just have to solve for l:
l^2 - 4l - 96 = 0
(l - 12)(l+8) = 0
by the zero product property, either l-12 = 0 OR l+8 = 0. since l+8 = 0 gives l as a negative number, we know that can't be the solutions. therefore, l-12 = 0 and l = 12.

let me know if you have any questions!!!

Which is equivalent to Cubic root of x^10 after it has been simplified completely?
Maslowich
When we say cubic root, it means that the exponent of your divisor is three. You can solve this by counting how many three's are there in a ten. So there are three three's. the other x has an exponent one and therefore is denoted by ∛x. The answer would be x³∛x.
