Question

jose needs to enclose a rectangular section of his yard. the perimeter of the section is 27 feet, and the area? is 35 square feet ...find the length and width of the selection. let l=length and w-width write and equation for the perimenter... p=2(l w) then solve for w then write an equation for the area use the quadratic formula to solve for l

Answer 1

Perimeter
2l + 2w = 27
l + w = 13.5

Area
l*w = 35

(35 / l) + l = 13.5
 35 + l^2 = 13.5l
l^2 - 13.5l + 35 = 0

Using this equation, we can find the length first
then width can be found
