The height of a photograph is 40 cm greater than the width, and the area of the photograph is 896 cm2what is the height of the photograph?

Height = 56 cm

Step-by-step explanation:  

let the width of photograph  be = 'w' cm

let the Height of photograph be = 'h' cm

Now it is given that height is 40 cm greater than width

=> h = w + 40 cm.............................(i)

Now it is given that area of photograph =

We know that area = x

Thus we have x =

Applying value of 'h' from equation i we get

x=

This is a quadratic equation in 'w' whose solution in standard form is given by

w=

upon comparing with standard equation  we see that

a =1

b=40

c=896

applying values in the formula we get

w=

w1 = 16 cm

w2 = -56 cm

We discard -56 cm since length cannot be negative thus

width = 16 cm

Height = 40+16 cm = 56 cm  

a; x = 0.5

step-by-step explanation:

-10x = -5

x = 0.5
