Answer:

Width =  7 cm

Length = 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width = w

Length = w + 8

Area of rectangle = 105 sq. cm

length * breadth = 105

(w + 8)*w = 105

Use distributive property

w² + 8w = 105

w² + 8w - 105 = 0

Sum = 8

Product = -105

Factors = 15 , -7   {15 +(-7) = 8 & 15*(-7) = -105}

w² - 7m + 15m - 105 = 0

w(w - 7) + 15(m - 7) = 0

(w - 7)(w + 15) = 0

Ignore w + 15= 0 as measurements will not be in negative value

w - 7 = 0

w = 7

Width = 7 cm

Length = 7 + 8 = 15 cm

X/3-4=-7<br><br> please help me solve
Vanyuwa [196]
In order to solve this we need to get x by itself on one side.

We need o start by adding across the 4 so that we get:

x/3 = -7 + 4 = -3

We then need to multiply both sides by 3 to get a singular x:

x = -3 * 3 = -9

Hey,
I could actually answer the question now, so I am going to put it here as well so the people don't have to read the comments above.

<span>Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse:<span>a² + b² = c²
5² + 5² = c²
25 + 25 = c²
50 = c²
√50=√(c^2 )
7.07 = c

Answer: 7
