Answer:
L=21.6in and w=13.6
Step-by-step explanation:
If the length is 8 inches longer than its width, we can write the width as "w" and the length as the width w+ 8
Area is (width)(Length) = (width)(width+8)
W
----------
| |
| |
| | L = w+8

-----------
A = (w+8)(w)
A = w2 + 8w = 295.
(Problem states that area is 295 sq in)
Need to solve this quadratic equation
w2 +8y - 295 = 0
Factor:
(w - 13.64) (w + 21.64) = 0
So
w - 13.64 = 0. or. w + 21.64= 0
Solve these and get
w = 13.64. or. w = -21.64
Only one that makes sense in real life is the poitive one.
So the dimensions are
Width = 13.64 inches
Length = 21.64 inches
Question: The area of a square is 324 square inches. What is the length of one side of the square?
The formula for finding area of squares is:
Length x Width
Squares have 4 sides, and all sides measure the same. If the area is 324 square units, that means the length and width are the same.
x X x=x2
X2=324
x squared(x²) is equal to 324. To find x, you have to do the opposite of squaring, which is finding the square root.
x2= 324 —> square root of 324=x
To find x, you have find the square root of 324.
Square root of 324 is 8
The length of one side is 18 inches
Check:
The formula for finding area is:
Length x Width
The length and width gotten was 18. Put that into the formula:
18 x 18
Multiply:
18 x 18= 324
That means the answer is correct. Your answer is 18 inches.

Yea that’s a nice graph i’d say looks a little fishy though
