The patio is rectangular and has a total area of 24 square feet. You are building a rectanglar fish pond and want the length of the pond to be twice the width. You also need to add a 1 foot border around the entire pond.
Suppose the total area of the patio is represented by the polynomial 2^2 + 6x +4, where x is the width of the fish pond.
Solve the polynomial to find the dimensions of the fish pond.
