A = L * W
A = 320
L = W + 4

320 = W(W + 4)
320 = W^2 + 4W
W^2 + 4W = 320
W^2 + 4W + 4 = 320 + 4
(W + 2)^2 = 324
W + 2 = (+-) sqrt 324
W = -2 (+-) 18

W = -2 + 18 = 16 ft <== this is the width
W = -2 - 18 = -20....not this one because it is negative

L = W + 4
L = 16 + 4
L = 20 ft <=== this is the length

in summary...the width is 16 ft and the length is 20 ft

Answer: d = 29 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

S11°W  = 259° on a unit circle

N75°E = 15° on a unit circle

x separation after two hours

x = 2(8cos15 - 18cos259) = 21.179 miles

y separation after two hours

x = 2(8sin15 - 18sin259) = 19.7398 miles

total distance between them is

d = √(19.7398² + 21.179²) = 28.9518... ≈ 29 miles
