Answer:

x² - 4x - 5 = 0

Width of rectangle = 5 inch

Length of rectangle = 2 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of rectangle = 10 inch²

Length of rectangle = 2[Width of rectangle] - 8

Find:

Equation

Value of length and width

Computation;

Assume;

Width of rectangle = x

So,

Length of rectangle = 2[Width of rectangle] - 8

Length of rectangle = 2x - 8

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

10 = x(2x - 8)

2x² - 8x - 10 = 0

Divide by 2 from both side

x² - 4x - 5 = 0

x² - (5-1)x - 5 = 0

x² - 5x + x- 5 = 0

x(x - 5) + 1(x - 5)

x = 5 and x = -1

So,

Width of rectangle = 5 inch

Length of rectangle = 2x - 8

Length of rectangle = 2(5) - 8

Length of rectangle = 2 inch

Phantasy [73]
If one inch = 2.54 centimeters, then 45 centimeters divided by 2.54 centimeters will give you the amount of inches the piece of wood needs to be.

45/2.54 = 17.72  ---- Rounded to the nearest quarter, would be 17.75 inches.
