A good place to start is to set 
to y. That would mean we are looking for 
to be an integer. Clearly, 
, because if y were greater the part under the radical would be a negative, making the radical an imaginary number, not an integer. Also note that since 
is a radical, it only outputs values from ![[0,\infty]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5B0%2C%5Cinfty%5D%20)
, which means y is on the closed interval: ![[0,120]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5B0%2C120%5D%20)
.
With that, we don't really have to consider y anymore, since we know the interval that is on.
Now, we don't even have to find the x values. Note that only 11 perfect squares lie on the interval , which means there are at most 11 numbers that x can be which make the radical an integer. All of the perfect squares are easily constructed. We can say that if k is an arbitrary integer between 0 and 11 then:
Which is strictly positive so we know for sure that all 11 numbers on the closed interval will yield a valid x that makes the radical an integer.

Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is rational and here is the steps
Answer:
The width is 20 ft and the length is 80 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = l * w
l = w +60
SA = 1600 ft^2 ( which is the regular area) The surface area of the water is just what is on top which is length times width
1600 = l*w
Substitute in l = w+60
1600 = (w+60) *w
Distribute the w
1600 = w^2 +60w
Subtract 1600 from each side
1600-1600 = w^2 + 60w -1600
0 = w^2 + 60w -1600
Factor
0=(w-20) (w+80)
Using the zero product property
w-20=0 w+80 =0
w=20 or w=-80
The width cannot be negative so
w=20
Now we need to find the length
l = w+60
l = 60+20
l =80
