Answer:

A tangent line touches a curve at one point and has the same slope as the curve at that point. A secant line intersects at 2 or more points and has a slope equal to the average rate of change between those points.

Answer:

A Tangent of a circle is found outside of the circle but touching 2 points of the circle on the outside. But a Secant is found inside the circle and it touches 2 points in the circle. A Chord can always be Secant, but a secant can not always be a chord because it may pass through the circle.

Area=LW

given
A=2808

subsitute
2808=LW
subsitute 6+2W for L
2808=(6+2W)(W)
2808=2W²+6W
divide both sides by 2
1404=W²+3W
minus 1404 from both sides
0=W+3W-1404
farctor, what 2 numbers multiply to get -1404 and add to get 3
-36 and 39
0=(W-36)(W+39)
set each to zero

0=W-36
36=W

0=W+39
-39=W
false, can't have negative dimentions

W=36
L=6+2W
L=6+2(36)
L=6+72
L=78

the width is 36ft
