The rectangle has an area of 24 square centimeters. find the length a of the rectangle

Answer : The length of the rectangle (a) is, 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that,

Area of rectangle =

Length of rectangle = a

Breadth of rectangle = a - 5

As we know that,

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the value of 'a'.

By the solving the term 'a', we get the value of 'a'.

a = 8

Thus,

Length of rectangle = a = 8 cm

Breadth of rectangle = a - 5 = 8 - 5 = 3 cm

Therefore, the length of the rectangle (a) is, 8 cm

the discriminant is 64 + 4*1*12 = 112

this is prime.
