A = l × w. Substitute 72 into A and fill in the rest of the equation.
w = l - 1. Plug l - 1 into w
72 = l × (l - 1). Multiply l by (l - 1)
72 = l^2 - l. Subtract 72 from each side.
0 = l^2 - l - 72. Factor.
0 = (l + 8) (l - 9). Set each term equal to zero.
(l + 8) = 0. Subtract 8 from each side.
l = -8. Length cant be a negative number so let's try the other term.
(l - 9) = 0. Add 9 to each side.
l = 9. The length is 9.
Earlier we stated that the width is one less than the length, therefore, the width is 9 - 1 = 8.
The width is 8 units.

Answer:
The height of the tree in 2020 was of 19.63 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential equation for growth:
The exponential equation for the growth of an amount has the following format:

In which H(t) is the amount after t years, H(0) is the initial amount and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.
A 4 foot tree was planted in 2012 outside a high school.
This means that 
The tree grew continuously by 22% each year from that point.
This means that 
Find out what the height of the tree was in 2020.
2020 is 2020 - 2012 = 8 years after 2012, so this is H(8).




The height of the tree in 2020 was of 19.63 feet.
Answer:
I won't solve it, because you asked me to.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first question we should ask ourselves is "what are we looking to solve?"
We are looking for some sort of value that satisfies that equation. We'll call it x
