Question

The area of a playground is 266yd^2. The width of the playground is 5yd longer than its length. Find the legnth and width of the playground.
A. legnth=19, width=24
B. length=19,width=14
C. length=14,width=19
D. length=24,width=19

Answer 1

area = length * breadth

Answer 2

breadth ( width ) = length + 5

Answer 3

area = length * ( length + 5 )
266 = length ^ 2 + 5 length

Answer 4

length ^ 2 +5 length - 266 = 0

Answer 5

solve the linear equation
