I got this answer, I think it’s correct though.
Answer:
16cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the breadth = x
The length exceeds = x + 7
The breadth increased = x + 3
Because it said the length decreased by 4 so, the length would be:
x + 7 - 4 = x + 3
Original area:
We learn that:
area = length * breadth
x*(x+7) = (x+3)*(x+3)
x^2 + 7x = (x+3)^2
x^2 + 7x = x^2 + 6x + 9 (We also learn that (a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
x^2 - x^2 + 7x - 6x = 9
x = 9 (so the breadth = 9)
The length = x + 7 = 9+7 = 16(cm)
Hope this help you :3
