Answer:

<h2>The shorter side is 6 ft and the longer side is 11 ft</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are not given, but we could solve and arrive at an answer

say the shorter side is x

and the longer side is x+5

we know that the area of a rectangle is given as

x*(x+5)=66

open the bracket

x^2+5x=66

x^2+5x-66=0

Find two factors of  -66  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   5 .

the factors are 11 and -6

splitting the middle term using the two factors  11  and  -6

x2 +11x - 6x - 66=0

x(x+11)-6(x+11)=0

(x-6)=0

x=6

(x+11)=0

x=-11

The shorter side is 6 ft and the longer side is 11 ft

Explain WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO motion IF friction DID NDT EXIST.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

If friction did not exist, it would be hard for us to slow down in running, or putting breaks on a car, and more!

If friction did not exist, your car will slide down the road even if you try your best to put the brakes on a car. Friction is a very important force to slow down things that are moving very fast
