Answer:

The width is 20 ft and the length is 80 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = l * w

l = w +60

SA = 1600 ft^2 ( which is the regular area)  The surface area of the water is just what is on top  which is length times width

1600 = l*w

Substitute in l = w+60

  1600       = (w+60) *w

Distribute the w

1600 = w^2 +60w

Subtract 1600 from each side

1600-1600 = w^2 + 60w -1600

0 =  w^2 + 60w -1600

Factor

0=(w-20) (w+80)

Using the zero product property

w-20=0   w+80 =0

w=20  or w=-80

The width cannot be negative   so

w=20

Now we need to find the length

l = w+60

l = 60+20

l =80

F(x) = 4x^2 + 3x - 11<br> f(-3)
Mnenie [13.5K]
Just plus in x for -3
f(x) = 4(-3)^2 + 3(-3) - 11
f (x) = 4(9) -9 - 11
f(x) = 36 - 20
f(x) = 16
