The area of a room is 600 square feet. The length is (x+2) feet and the width is (x+3) feet. Find the dimensions of the room

1 answer:

6 0

Create an equation using the formula for area of a rectangle; area = width * length
(X + 2)(x + 3) = 600
Multiply the dimensions.
X^2 + 3x + 2x +6 = 600, or simplified x^2 +5x + 6 = 600.
Subtract 600 to get the following:
X^2 + 5x - 594 = 0
Factor by x:
(X - 22)(x + 27) = 0
Solve for x
X - 22 = 0
X = 22.
Use the POSITIVE VALUE of x as you can’t have a negative area for a room.
Then substitute 22 for x to get the dimensions
(22+ 2) or 24 for length and (22+3) or 25 for width.

sergey [27]

Because it is an isosceles triangle, the two longer sides are the same length. Therefore multiply 6.3 times 2.
To find the length of the base subtract 12.6 from 15.7 to get 3.1 cm.

andrezito [222]

First, you would subtract 29.95 from 55.50, and you get 25.55. because 5 people went, and the cost for each was the same, you would divide 25.55 by five, and get $5.11 per person.
