Answer:

Exact dimensions:

width=-1+\sqrt{7}

length=-1+\sqrt{7}+2

length=1+\sqrt{7}

Approximate dimensions:

width=1.64575ft

length=1.64575+2

length=3.64575ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume width of rectangle is w ft

The length of a rectangular flower bed is 2ft longer than the width

so,

length =w+2

L=w+2

now, we can find area

A=L\times W

now, we can plug it

A=(w+2)\times w

A=w^2+2w

we are given area =6

so, we can set it equal

and then we can solve for w

w^2+2w=6

w^2+2w-6=0

we can use quadratic formula

ax^2+bx+c=0

x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

now, we can compare and find a,b and c

a=1 , b=2 , c=-6

w=\frac{-2\pm \sqrt{2^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-6\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}

w=-1+\sqrt{7},\:w=-1-\sqrt{7}

we know that dimension can never be negative

so, we will only consider positive value

Exact dimensions:

width=-1+\sqrt{7}

length=-1+\sqrt{7}+2

length=1+\sqrt{7}

Approximate dimensions:

width=1.64575ft

length=1.64575+2

length=3.64575ft

Answer:

210 student's

Step-by-step explanation:

80 students chose the aquarium.

60 students chose the science center.

30 students chose the planetarium.

40 students chose the farm.

The students can't vote for more than one place, so you just add all the numbers together.

80 + 60 + 30 + 40 = 210 students
