W = L-8 Area = W * L = 10 (L-8)*L = 10 L^2 - 8L - 10 = 0 Solve to find L.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got \[L=4+\sqrt{26},4-\sqrt{26}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It has to be the first one because the second number is negative and Length can't be negative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is \[4+\sqrt{26}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes for length. Now find W using W = L-8.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i solve that?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

W = L - 8 W = 4 + SQRT(26) - 8 W = SQRT(26) - 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 1.099019514

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.
