The equation that can be used to determine the dimensions of the base of the doghouse is x² + 4x = 21

<h3> What is the equation?</h3>

A quadratic equation is an equation that usually has a single variable and it is raised to the power of 2.

Area of a rectangle = length x width

width = x
length = 4 + x

x (4 + x) = 21

x² + 4x = 21

The equation in the given form that can be used to determine the possible dimensions of the base of the doghouse will be, 21=4x+x².

The space filled by a flat form or the surface of an item is known as the area.

The number of unit squares that cover the surface of a closed-form is the figure's area. Square centimeters and other similar units are used to measure area.

Given data;

Area of rectangular base(A) = 21 square feet

The length is 4 feet more than its width, L=4+x

If x represents the width of the doghouse

The equation in the given form can be used to determine the possible dimensions of the base of the doghouse;

Area of the rectangular base;

A= L × x

A = (4+x)x

21=4x+x²

Hence the obtained equation for the given value will be, 21=4x+x².
