Question

one side of a rectangle exceeds it other side by 2cm. if the area is 195 square cm. find the sides of the rectangle​

Answer 1

Answer:

let one side of rectangle be Xcm

other side exceed by 2

so other side is X-2

area of rectangle X(X-2)=195

x^2-2x-195=0

x^2-15x+13x-195=0

x(x-15)+13(x-15)=0

x=15 and x=-13(negligible)

one side of rectangle=15cm

other side x-2=15-2=13cm
