Let the length be x and the width be y. 

Since the length is 9cm less than 4 times the width, it can equal to:
x = 4y-9

The area would be:
xy = 28
But since we have the first equation, we can substitute it into the second:
4y-9*y = 28
4y^2 - 9y = 28
4y^2 - 9y - 28 = 0

Factorize this to make it:
(x-4)(4x+7) = 0
 x= 4 or x = -7/4

Since the dimensions cannot be negative, the width is 4cm, and the length would is 7cm.

Answer:

y=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the exterior angle theorem angle A plus angle b or equal to 146.

so you set 5y+3+4y+8=146 and solve

5y+3+4y+8=146

9y+11=146

9y=135

y=15
