I. The value of x is equal to 8.
II. The dimensions of the rectangle are 13 and 5 inches respectively.
Given the following data:
- Area of a rectangle = 65 square inches.
- Length of rectangle = x + 5 inches
- Width of rectangle = x - 3 inches
To find the value of x, and the dimensions of the rectangle:
Mathematically, the area of a rectangle is given by the formula:
[tex]A = LW[/tex]
Substituting the values, we have:
[tex]65 = (x+5)(x-3)\\\\65=x^2-3x+5x-15\\\\65=x^2+2x-15-65\\\\x^2 +2x-80=0\\\\x^2 +10x-8x-80=0\\\\x(x+10)-8(x+10)=0\\\\(x-8)(x+10)=0[/tex]
x = 8 or x = -10
For the length:
when x = 8
[tex]Length = 8 +5[/tex]
Length = 13 inches.
For the width:
when x = 8
[tex]Length = 8 -3[/tex]
Length = 5 inches.
