a and b are the sides of rectangular, we know that one side is 2 meters longer than the other then b= a+2 and we know that diagonalis d =10m . Now you can use Pythagorean theorem to find a
using formula for quadratic equation find a
where: A=2, B=4, C=-96
equation has 2 solutions:
a1=-8 it can not be solution because lenght can not have negative value
a2=6
If a = 6 meters and b = a+2 , then b= 8meters
Answer: the sides of rectangular stage are 6 & 8 meters long
