L=W+5
L*W=90
(W+5)W=90
W^2+5W-90=0
USING THE QUADRATIC EQUATION W = (-b +- sqrt( b^2-4*a*c ))/(2*a) }WE GET:
W=(-5+-SQRT(5^2-4*1*-90])/2*1
W=(-5+-SQRT[25+360])/2
W=(-5+-SQRT385)/2
W=(-5+-19.62)/2
W=(-5+19.62)/2
W=14.62/2
W=7.31 cm. IS THE WIDTH.
L=7.31+5=12.31 cm. IS THE LENGTH.
PROOF:
7.31*12.31=90
90~90
