Monica wants to measure the dimensions of her rectangular lawn. if the longer side of the lawn is (x + 3) feet and the diagonal length is (x + 4) feet, which function can be used to find the shorter side of her lawn?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Monica wants to measure the dimensions of her rectangular lawn.

If the longer side of the lawn is BC=(x + 3) feet.

If the diagonal length is AC=(x + 4) feet.

Let the shortest side of lawn is AB=y feet

The angle of rectangle is right angle.

Using diagonal, shortest and longer side to make a right angle triangle whose hypotenuse is length of diagonal.

Using Pythagoreous theorem,

We will ignore the negative value because side of rectangle can't be negative.
