The floor of a shed given on the right has an area of 85 square feet. The floor is in the shape of a rectangle whose length is 7

lesya692 [45]

Answer: Length = 10 feet and width = 8.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the width of the floor.

Then length of the floor = $2x-7$

Given : The area of the floor = 85 square feet

We know that the area of a rectangle is given by :-

$A=l\times w$

$\Rightarrow\ 85=(2x-7)\times x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 2x^2-7x-85=0\\\\\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{7\pm\sqrt{49-4(2)(-85)}}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{7\pm27}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{17}{2}, -5$
