Answer:

D. 14.1 feet by 11.1 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the width of the rug.

We have been given that the length of the rug is 3 feet longer than the width. So the length of the rug would be w+3.

We have been given that the measure of the diagonal of the rug to be 18 feet. To find the width of rug we will use Pythagoras theorem as rug is rectangular.

w^2+(w+3)^2=18^2

w^2+w^2+6w+9=324

2w^2+6w+9=324

2w^2+6w+9-324=0

2w^2+6w-315=0

We will use quadratic formula to solve for w.

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

w=\frac{-6\pm \sqrt{6^2-4*2*-315}}{2*2}

w=\frac{-6\pm \sqrt{36+2520}}{4}

w=\frac{-6\pm \sqrt{2556}}{4}

w=\frac{-6}{4}\pm \frac{\sqrt{2556}}{4}

w=\frac{-6}{4}\pm \frac{50.55689863}{4}

Since the width cannot be negative, so width of the rug would be:

w=\frac{-6}{4}+\frac{50.55689863}{4}

w=-1.5+12.639224659

w=11.139224\approx 11.1

Therefore, the width of rug would be 11.1 feet.

Since length of rug is 3 feet longer than width, so width of the rug would be 11.1+3=14.1,

Therefore, the option D is the correct choice.
