The length of a rectangular field is 6 metres longer than its width. If the area of the field is 72 square metres, What are the width and the length of the field?

The length is 12metres, the width is 6metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the width is x, the length is x+6

The square is 72. The square of rectangular field is equal to product of length and width.

so x(x+6)=72

x^2+6x-72=0

a=1 b=6 c=-72

D= b^2-4ac= 6*6+288= 36+288= 324

sqrtD= 18

x1= (-b-sqrtD)/2a=(-6-18)/2= -12 (it is negative, but width is only positive. So this root doesn't match)

x2=(-b+sqrtD)/2a= (-6+18)/2= 12/2=6 - the width

The length is 6+6=12

18.8cm hope i at all

step-by-step explanation:

the image is given below

since the options are not given so we draw it from the equation

the given equation is

y = (x-1) (x+4)

y = y² + 3x - 4

the above equation is a quadratic equation which will have two roots. if we draw the graph for it, it will look like this
