A rectangular yard measuring

1 answer:

7 0

The entire yard is 36x54 so you would draw a rectangle with those measurements, since there is a border of 3 you should draw another rectangle in the middle with measurements 6 less than the original. 30x48
since you are finding the area of the walk, you would find the larger area, then subtract the smaller rectangle

(36*54)-(30*48)
1944-1440
504 square feet of walk

ANSWER

$w = (x - 8)$

EXPLANATION

The given rectangle has area,

$A = {x}^{2} - x - 72 \: {m}^{2}$

It was given to us that, the length of the rectangle is l=(x+8)

To find the width, we need to factor, the expression for the area.

We split the middle term to get,

$A = {x}^{2} - 9x + 8x- 72$

We now factor by grouping;

$A = x(x - 9) + 8(x- 9)$

$A = (x + 8)(x - 9)$

We know that area of a rectangle is

$A = l \times w$

Hence the width of the rectangle is,

$w = (x - 8)$
