Question

WHAT IS THE EQUATION SET UP TO SOLVE?

Answer 1

Suppose the area of a rectangle is 122.8 m2 and the length is 14 m longer than the width. Find the length and width in meters of the rectangle.

Answer 2

x(x+14)=122.8
wer x is the width .

Answer 3

let the width be x m
then length will be (x+14)

x * (x+14) = 122.8
x^2 + 14x -122.8 = 0

Answer 4

U find he roots of the above quadratic equation and use ONLY THE POSITIVE value because distance/length can never be negative

Answer 5

so is it 6.107 then add 14 to other one?

Answer 6

what would the answer be?

Answer 7

so the width is 6.07 and length is 20.07

Answer 8

yea...

Answer 9

better use 6.08 and 20.08

Answer 10

ok sweet!
