Answer:

Length of the rectangle  =25

width of the rectangle  = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Let 'x' be the width of the rectangle

Given that the length of a rectangle is 5 m more than its width

Given that Area of the rectangle = 500m²

length of a rectangle = x +5

width of a rectangle = x

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

Area of the rectangle = length × width

             500 = x ( x+5)

          x² + 5 x = 500

      ⇒  x² + 5 x - 500 =0

      ⇒  x² +25x - 20 x - 500 =0

    ⇒  x( x+25) -20(x+25) =0

  ⇒  (x-20)(x+25) =0

 ⇒  x =20 and x=-25

we can choose x =20

<u><em>Step(iii):-</em></u>

Length of the rectangle = x +5 = 20 +5 =25

width of the rectangle  = 20

<u><em>Final answer</em></u>:-

Length of the rectangle  =25

width of the rectangle  = 20

I just need Y. I already found X
garri49 [273]
Y = 54.

This is really complicated to explain, but since x is 36 and the angle on the other side of the known angle is also 36, that makes y 54. Each pair of angles has to equal to 90 degrees.

Hope this helps!
