The answer is 27.001 because .001 comes before .002
Width = x
length = x+10
Area of deck = 144 square feet
Area = length * width
144 = x(x+10)
Solving for x in a quadratic:
x²+10x = 144
x²+10x-144 = 0
Factor:
(x+18)(x-8) = 0
Solving for x:
x = 8, x = -18
Dimensions cannot be negative, therefore x = 8, only.
Length = x + 10
Length = 18
Width = 8
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
P = 2W + 2L
Where,
W: width
L: long
Substituting the values we have to:
P = 2 * (33 + 2 * (3)) + 2 * (39 + 2 * (3))
P = 168 feet
Answer:
joe needs to enclose the garden and path 168 feet of fencing material
King Harold + Queen Lilian = Fiona
P = - 22 +- root of ( 22^2 - 4* (-23) / 2
