Since width is the smaller value, set width=x. That wold mean that length=x+3. Since Area=width*length, 40=x(3+x). Distribute the x to give you 40=3x+x^2. Set the equation equal to 0 giving you x^2+3x-40=0. Factor the equation to give you (x+8)(x-5)=0. Set each factor equal to 0. x+8=0 gives you x=-8 & x=-5 gives you x=5. Since we're working with lengths of objects, it can't be negative. Therefore, your width is 5. To find length, substitute width into the original expression (x+3). Therefore, length is 5+3=8.

Complete question :
The diameter of the ferris Given is 63 feets
Answer:
3165 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Diameter of ferris = 63 feets
Recall :
Circumference of a circle = 2 * pi * Radius
Or
Circumference = pi * d
Hence,
Circumference of wheel = 3.14 * 63 = 197.82 feets
Distance traveled during one ride :
Circumference of wheel * number of revolutions
197.82 * 16 = 3165.12
= 3165 feets (nearest whole number)
