1. Problem Description

We are given a rectangle with width x+2x+2 and height x5x-5. The area of the rectangle is 800 square meters. We need to find the length of the width and height. The area of a rectangle is given by A=bhA = bh, where bb is the width and hh is the height.

2. Solution Steps

We have the equation:
(x+2)(x5)=800(x+2)(x-5) = 800
Expanding the left side, we get:
x25x+2x10=800x^2 - 5x + 2x - 10 = 800
x23x10=800x^2 - 3x - 10 = 800
x23x810=0x^2 - 3x - 810 = 0
We need to solve this quadratic equation for xx. We can use the quadratic formula or try to factor it. Let's try factoring:
We are looking for two numbers that multiply to -810 and add up to -

3. The numbers are -30 and

2

7. So we can factor the equation as:

(x30)(x+27)=0(x - 30)(x + 27) = 0
Therefore, x=30x = 30 or x=27x = -27.
Since the width and height must be positive, we choose x=30x = 30.
Width = x+2=30+2=32x + 2 = 30 + 2 = 32 meters
Height = x5=305=25x - 5 = 30 - 5 = 25 meters

3. Final Answer

The width is 32 meters and the height is 25 meters. So the answer is (d).
Final Answer: Ancho= 32 m, altura= 25 m
