3.3 The length of a rectangular children's playground is 2m short of three times its width. The area of the playground is 320m². Let the length be represented by y and the width be represented by x. Express y in terms of x. (2 marks) 3.3.2 Determine the length and the width of the playground. (8 marks)
1 answer:
The length and width of the playground is 30 meter and 32/3 meter respectively.
<h3>What is an equation?</h3>
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.
An independent variable is a variable t hat does not depends on other variable while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variable.
Let x represent the width and y represent the length. Hence:
y = 3x - 2 (1)
Area = xy = 320
x(3x - 2) = 320
3x² - 2x - 320 = 0
x = 32/3 m
y = 3(32/3) - 2 = 30 m
The length and width of the playground is 30 meter and 32/3 meter respectively.
