1. Problem Description

We are given a rectangle with length (x+7)(x+7) cm and width (x+2)(x+2) cm. The area of the rectangle is given as 66 cm2^2. We need to form a quadratic equation based on this information.

2. Solution Steps

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:
Area=Length×WidthArea = Length \times Width
In this case, we have:
Area=(x+7)(x+2)Area = (x+7)(x+2)
We are given that the area is 66 cm2^2, so we can set up the equation:
(x+7)(x+2)=66(x+7)(x+2) = 66
Expanding the left side of the equation, we get:
x2+2x+7x+14=66x^2 + 2x + 7x + 14 = 66
x2+9x+14=66x^2 + 9x + 14 = 66
Subtract 66 from both sides to set the equation to zero:
x2+9x+1466=0x^2 + 9x + 14 - 66 = 0
x2+9x52=0x^2 + 9x - 52 = 0

3. Final Answer

The quadratic equation is x2+9x52=0x^2 + 9x - 52 = 0.
