Answer:
Given
a rectangle wise area is 180 m^2 has its side respectively diminished by 7 m and 4 m so as to become a square . find the sides of the square
Let the side be x and y
xy = 180
x = 180/y
We know that in a square all sides are equal.
So x – 7 = y – 4
x – y = 3
180/y - y = 3
y^2 + 3 y – 180 = 0
y^2 + 15 y – 12 y – 180 = 0
y(y + 15) – 12(y + 15)
(y – 12)(y + 15) = 0
y – 12 = 0
y = 12
Now x = y + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15
x = 15
