Question

a rectangle has an area of 195ft squared. the length and the width are consecutive odd integers. write a quadratic equation that represents this situation, and find the length and width of the rectangle

Answer 1

let n be the width... so,
n+2 will be the length... n and n+2 are consecutive odd integers....
so... area can be expressed as length times width: \(\Large Area=n(n+2)=195 \)

solve for n in the quadratic equation....
