Question

I really need help with this question :)

Answer 1

Answer:

here you go.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal is the hypotenuse of a rectangular triangle.

So:

d2=l2+w2 

132=169=(x+7)2+x2=x2+14x+49+x2→

2x2+14x−120=0→x2+7x−60=0

A simple quadratic equation resolving into:

(x+12)(x−5)=0→x=−12orx=5

Only the positive solution is useable so:

w=5andl=12
