Question

The area of a room is 28 sq.cm.If the length of the room was 1m less and its breadth was 2m more than it would be in the shape of a square.Find the length and breadth of the room?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Length = 7cm

Breadth = 4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the room is original my in a square shape

Area of a rectangle = Length × Breadth

Area = 28 cm²

Length = L - 1

Breadth = B + 2

Hence

28 = (L - 1)(B + 2)

b(b + 3) = 28

b² + 3b = 28

b² + 3b - 28 = 0

b² +7b - 4b - 28 = 0
