document.write( "Question 213061: The width of a rectangle is 9 less than twice its length. If the area of the rectangle is 100 centimeters squared, what is the length of the diagonal?
\n" ); document.write( "So far i have this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "W= 2L-9
\n" ); document.write( "L= ?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "L(2L-9)=100
\n" ); document.write( "2L^2-9L-100=0 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I tried to factor it and used the quadratic formula and I still couldn't get answer.

\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the diagonal
\n" ); document.write( "d = \"sqrt%289.67%5E2+%2B+10.34%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "d = 14.157 is the diagonal
\n" ); document.write( "
