Hello everyone,
I'm in need of some help. I have a question on my assignment that gives me the area (180) and diagonal (20) of a rectangle and I have to find the length and width from this. So far I have 2 equations, Area = LW and L^2+ W^2 = c^2. So, 180 = LW, solve for W, W = 180/L and then L^2 + W^2 = 20^2, which is L^2 + (180/L)^2 = 400. Then I've done, 400 = L^2 + (32400/L^2). That's as far as my brain will take me. I know it will turn into a quadratic but I've spent so much time on it that my brain has just shut down lol
May someone please help me understand this?
