Question 205562: One side of a rectangular stage is 2 meters longer than the other. If the diagonal is 10 meters, than what are the lengths of the other sides. Now A=LW, right? So I got as far as (l+2m)(l-2m)=l^2-2lm+2lm-4m^2=1^-4m^2. So l^2-4m^2 x wm=10m. Is this correct or not? I am not sure how to configure the diagonal of 10 meters into the equation. HELP PLEASE!!
