Let x be the length of one side of the rectangle
x-3 be the adjacent side of x of the rectangle

x^2 + (x - 3)^2 = 25^2
x^2 + x^2 - 6x + 9 = 625
2x^2 - 6x -616 = 0
x^2 - 3x - 308 = 0
x = 19.1 cm or -16.1 cm (rej)
So, the length of the rectangle is 19.1cm
and the width of the rectangle is 16.1 cm

x² + (x+3)² = 25²
x² + x² + 6x +9 = 625
2x² + 6x - 616 = 0
x² + 3x - 308 = 0
x = 16.1 or -19.1(rejected)

lengths of rectangle are 16.1cm and 19.1cm

Let x cm be the length of the rectangle,
(x-3) cm be the width of the rectangle:

x^2 + (x - 3)^2 = 25^2
x^2 + x^2 - 6x + 9 = 625
2x^2 - 6x -616 = 0
x^2 - 3x - 308 = 0
x = 19.1 cm or -16.1 cm (rej)

So, the length of the rectangle is 19.1cm
and the width of the rectangle is 16.1 cm

let x be the sides.

(x+3)^2 + x^2 = 25^2
x^2+6x+9+x^2=625
2x^2+6x-616=0
x^2+3x-308=0

Let x be the length, therefore width be (x-3) cm
x2+(x-3)2=252
2x2-6x-616=0
x2-3x-308=0
x=19.1 (Correct to one decimal place) or x=-16.1 (Rejected)
