The length of a rectangle is 13 centimeters less than four times its width. Its area is 35 square
centimeters. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
The width is
and the length is

Respuesta :

Answer:

width 5

length 7

Step-by-step explanation:

W * L = 35

L = 4 * W - 13

W * (4W-13) = 35

4 W^2 - 13 W - 35 = 0

delta = 169 + 4*4*35 = 729 = 27^2

W = (13 + 27) / 8 = 5 (its the only solution since 13 - 27 is less than 0 which makes no sense)

L = 4 * 5 - 13 = 7
