Let
x---------> the length of the rectangle
y--------> the width of the rectangle
we know that
A=84 ft²
[area of rectangle]=x*y-----> 84=x*y-----> equation 1
x=y-5------> equation 2
substitute 2 in 1
84=[y-5]*y-----> 84=y²-5y---------> y²-5y-84=0
using a graph tool-----> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure
the solution is
y=12
x=y-5-----> x=12-5-----> x=7
the answer is
the length of the rectangle is 7 ft
the width of the rectangle is 12 ft

We know that
the scale is <span>is 1/2 inch = 4 feet
using a graph tool
</span><span>the approximate measurements in the drawing are
</span>5 cm x 4 cm
convert to in
5/2.54--------> 1.97 in
4/2.54------> 1.57 in
convert drawing to actual
if 0.5 in---------> 4 ft
1.97in-------> X
X=1.97*4/0.5------> X=15.76 ft
if 0.5 in---------> 4 ft
1.57 in-------> X
X=1.57*4/0.5------> X=12.56 ft
<span>the approximate area of Quinto's bedroom is 12.56*15.76=197.95 ft</span>²
the answer is
