The length of a rectangle exceeds its width by 3 inches. The area of the rectangle is 70 square inches. Find its dimensions. Hint: as in the example, use the equation for area,
A = lw.

70= (x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

the length of the rectangle  its width by 3 inches, if the width is x,the length will be x+3. so A=LW= 70

To find= 70= (x+3)x

x= 7 or -10

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
