Answer:

The dimensions of the rectangle are

length = 34 yards

width = 15 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The shape is of rectangle,

Width of rectangle = x

Area of rectangle = 510 yd²

According to the given condition

Length of rectangle = 4 + 2x

To Find:

length =?

Width = ?

Solution:

We know that,

\textrm{Area of rectangle} = Length\times Width

On substituting the given values we get

510 = (4 + 2x)\times x\\510 = 4x+2x^{2}\ \textrm{using distributive property}\\\textrm{dividing throughout by two}\\255=2x+x^{2} \\\\x^{2} +2x -255 = 0\\

Which is a quadratic equation so we will apply splitting the middle term that is factorization we get

∴ x^{2}+ 17x -15x -255=0\\x(x+17)-15(x+17)=0\\(x-15)(x+17)=0\\\therefore x-15 =0\ or\ x+17=0\\\\\textrm{x cannot be negative i.e -17}\\\therefore x=15

∴ Width  x = 15 yard

∴ Length = 4 + 2x = 4 +2 × 15 = 34 yard

The dimensions of the rectangle are

length = 34 yards

width = 15 yards

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

x=3+2×sqrt(3)

x=3-2×sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-3)²-24=0

2(x-3)²=24

(x-3)²=12

Case 1:

x-3=sqrt(12)=2×sqrt(3)

x=3+2×sqrt(3)

Case 2:

x-3=-sqrt(12)=-2×sqrt(3)

x=3-2×sqrt(3)
