A rectangular field is enclosed on 3 sides by a fence, while the 4th side is a stream. The fence opposite the stream is 9 m longer than the other sides. If the area of the field is 70 m2, find its dimensions.

Question

anonymous · Answer

side* (side + 9)  = 70
let side = x
x^2 + 9x - 70 = 0.
solve the equation - the soln for x = 5.
this means that the dimensions are 5m * 14m.
