If the area of the rectangular is 645ft and the length is 12ft larger than the width find its length and its width. please solve in step by step.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let w = width
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "w+12 = length
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "w(w+12) = 645
\n" ); document.write( "w^2+12w = 645
\n" ); document.write( "w^2+12w-645 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Solving via the quadratic equation yields:
\n" ); document.write( "w = {20.096, -32.096}
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Toss out the negative solution we are left with:
\n" ); document.write( "width = 20.096 feet
\n" ); document.write( "length = 20.096+12 = 32.096 feet

Quadratic equation \"ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0\" (in our case \"1x%5E2%2B12x%2B-645+=+0\") has the following solutons:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " For these solutions to exist, the discriminant \"b%5E2-4ac\" should not be a negative number.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " First, we need to compute the discriminant \"b%5E2-4ac\": \"b%5E2-4ac=%2812%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A-645=2724\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Discriminant d=2724 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: \"+x%5B12%5D+=+%28-12%2B-sqrt%28+2724+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\".
\n" ); document.write( "
