Suppose you want to draw a rectangle where the width is 7 inches less than the length and the diagonal is 2 inches longer than t
IrinaK [193]
The diagonal of a rectangle is:
 d ^ 2 = w ^ 2 + l ^ 2
 Where,
 w: width
 l: long
 Substituting values we have:
 (l + 2) ^ 2 = (l-7) ^ 2 + l ^ 2
 Rewriting we have:
 l ^ 2 + 4l + 4 = l ^ 2 -14l + 49 + l ^ 2
 l ^ 2 -14l + 49 - 4l - 4 = 0
 l ^ 2 -18l + 45 = 0
 (l-15) (l-3) = 0
 The solutions are:
 l = 15
 l = 3
 The viable solution is:
 l = 15
 Thus, the width is:
 w = l-7
 w = 15-7
 w = 8
 Answer:
 
the dimensions of the rectangle are:
 
l = 15
 w = 8

Answer:

x=2, perimeter=14

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding x

(x+1)(x+2)

x^2+2x+x+2=12

x^2+3x-10

x^2-2x+5x-10

x(x-2)5(x-2)

(x+5)(x-2)
