Question

PART ONE: Your friend comes up with a design for the perfect garden and says to create it you need an area of 35 square feet. if this is your ideal garden, what would be the measurements of your width and length. PART TWO: during the winter months, MR Dugan assigns another set of students to design a rectangular tent to cover your garden. the volume of their tent was represented by 2x^2-5x^2+3x. the garden still had the original length and width from the previous example, what was the measure of height in terms of x

Answer 1

Wait for part one you need to use a quadratic equation and part two factoring

Answer 2

hope thats helpful

Answer 3

for part 1: you want to maximize the dimensions such that you get 35 sq feet.

The area of a rectangle is l*w/ I'm not entirely sure but I want to say it's 7*5 because that's

Answer 4

but if you use a quadratic equation doesnt that mean the answer has to be the same

Answer 5

i got 5.9 and 5.9 for the first part can someone confirm
