$\bf \textit{perimeter of a rectangle}\\\\ P=2(L+w)~~ \begin{cases} L=length\\ w=width\\ ----------\\ P=168\\ w=\stackrel{\textit{6 feet longer than L}}{L+6} \end{cases}\implies 168=2(L+\stackrel{w}{L+6}) \\\\\\ 84=2L+6\implies 78=2L\implies \cfrac{78}{2}=L\implies \boxed{39=L} \\\\\\ w=39+6\implies \boxed{w=45}$

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 85 square feet. Its length is 12 feet longer than the width. Find the length and wid

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Length = 17 feet, Width = 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 85 square feet.

Its length is 12 feet longer than the width.

Question asked:

Find the length and width of the wall of the barn.

Solution:

Let width of a rectangular wall of a barn = $x$

<u>As length is 12 feet longer than the width.</u>

Length of a rectangular wall of a barn = $12+x$

As we know:

$Area\ of\ rectangle=length\times breadth$

$85=(12+x)x\\\\85=12x+x^{2} \\$

Subtracting both sides by 85

$x^{2} +12x-85=0\\x^{2} +17x-5x-85=0\\Taking\ common\\x+(x+17)-5x(x+17)=0\\(x+17)(x-5)=0\\x+17=0, x-5=0\\x=-17,x=5$

As width can never be in negative, hence width of a rectangular wall of a barn = $x$ = 5 feet

Length of a rectangular wall of a barn = $12+x=12+5=17\ feet$

Therefore, length and width of the wall of the barn is 17 feet and 5 feet respectively.
