The third piece is 59 cm long.
Add the first two pieces up. 7+34= 41. Since the whole stick is 100 cm long, subtract 41 from 100 to find the length of the third piece. 100-41=59.
Area = Length * Width = l * w
l = x + 2
w = 2x - 5
Area = (x + 2)(2x - 5) = 56
Area = 2x^2 -x - 10 = 56
Area = 2x^2 - x - 66 = 0 Now you have to factor this thing.
Area = (2x + 11)( x - 6) = 0 This is more or less done by guessing.
2x + 11 = 0 can't work. x would be negative.
x - 6 = 0
x = 6.
Check
=====
l = x + 2
l = 6 + 2
l = 8
w = 2*x - 5
w = 2*6 - 5
w = 12 - 5
w = 7
l*w = 8*7 = 56. It checks.

__________
Answer:
9 6/8, 9 3/4. 9.75
Step-by-step explanation:
1 1/4 would equal 10/8 if she has 10 7/8 then you'd take 7/8 out of 10/8 which would leave you with 2/8 left which you'd take out of the whole number 10 which would leave you with 9 6/8
simplified answer is 9 3/4
or: 9.75
