The length of a rectangle exceeds the width by 7 cm. If the area is 60 cm, find the length of the rectangle.

Length = 12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the recatngle is:

- width → x

and

- length → x+7

The area of a rectangle follows the formula: length*width

Meaning: x * (x + 7) = 60

Expand that: x^2 + 7x = 60

Rearragne the equation and factorise it

(x-5)(x+12) = 0

The width cannot be a negative value, so the answer must be 5.

Remember that x was the width and the length is the width add the 7.

So the length is 12 cm.

step-by-step explanation:

< xcy ≅ < xby

step-by-step explanation:

in δcax and δbax,

so, δcax ≅ δbax (side-angle-side or sas)

since δcax ≅ δbax, we can conclude < acx ≅ < abx

in δacy and δaby,

so, δacy ≅ δaby (side-angle-side or sas)

since δacy ≅ δaby, we can conclude < acy ≅ < aby

now,

< acy ≅ < aby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < abx + < xby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < acx + < xby   (since < acx ≅ < abx already proved above)

subtracting < acx from both sides, we get

< acx + < xcy -< acx ≅ < acx + < xby -< acx

cancelling out < acx and -< acx from both sides, we get

< xcy ≅ < xby (proved)
