Answer: Length = 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangle.

The width of a rectangle is 2 units less than the length. It means that the width of the rectangle is (L - 2) units.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The area of the rectangle is 63 units. It means that

L(L - 2) = 63

L² - 2L = 63

L² - 2L - 63 = 0

L² + 7L - 9L - 63 = 0

L(L + 7) - 9(L + 7) = 0

L - 9 = 0 or L + 7 = 0

L = 9 or L = - 7

Since the length cannot be negative, then

L = 9 units

Width = 9 - 2 = 7 units

What is the length of the side a ?<br><br> A=
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that \triangle CDB is a right triangle where its hypotenuse is \overline{CB}. We can also see that a = CB. For this we must use the Pythagorean Theorem.

Recall:

The Pythagorean Theorem states that if you have a right triangle, the principal square root of the sum of the squares of each leg is the length the hypotenuse.

We can see that CD = 3 and DB = 4

a = \sqrt{CD^2 +DB^2} \\ a = \sqrt{3^2 +4^2} \\ a = \sqrt{9 +16} \\ a = \sqrt{25} \\ a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1-7% =- 0.017 and 5.3% - 0.053.

Kevin : After 1 year he has 43,000 * 0.017 = S731.

Greg:  After 1 year he has  43,000 * 0.053 =  S2279

Difference = 2279 - 731 = S1548.
