Answer:
Length = 8+7 = 15
Width = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
New
Length = x+7 , x+4
Width = x ,x+2
(x+7) x = (x+4)( x+2)
expand and simplify x =8
The length of the shorter side length of original rectangle is 8 inches and of original rectangle longer side length is 15 inches.
Let l is the length and b is the breadth of the rectangle.
then the area of the rectangle is ab.
Given One side of a rectangle is 7 inches longer than another side.
then shorter side length is x and the large side length is 7+x.
then the area of the original rectangle is x(x+7)
Now calculate the sides of the new rectangle.
longer side of this rectangle decreases by 3 then new side is 7+x -3= 4+x
The shorter side increases by 2 inches then x+2.
So new rectangle area is (x+4)(x+2)
Both rectangle area is equal then
(x+4)(x+2) = x(x+7)
x² +2x+4x+8 = x²+7x
x²+6x+8 = x²+7x
x²-x²+7x-6x = 8
x = 8
Since a shorter side length is 8 inches and a longer side length is 8+7 =15 inches.
