Question

ALGEBRA HELP!!!! photo attached!!! A rectangular plot of ground is 10 m longer than it is wide its area is 10,000 square meters. which equation will help you find the dimensions? let w=width

Answer 1

$\bf \textit{area of a rectangle}\\\\ A=Lw~~ \begin{cases} L=length\\ w=width\\ ----------\\ L=\stackrel{\textit{longer by 10 than \underline{w}}}{w+10}\\ A=10,000 \end{cases}\implies 10,000=(w+10)w$

Answer 2

w(w+10)+10,000

This is because the length is w+10, and length times width = area. So, your width (w) * your length (w+10), equals 10,000. this equation represents the situation
