Formula for area of rectangle:
A=L x w
Here A=85 square ft
Length, L=w+12

Put values in formula.
85=(w+12)w
85=w^2+12w
Subtract 85 from both sides
w^2+12w-85=0
Factorise the equation.
(w-5)(w+17)=0
w=5 and w=-17
Ignore the negative value of width.
Width, w= 5 ft  and Length, L=12+5=17 ft

Answer: Width=5 ft and Length=17 ft

From the diagram associated with this question it can be seen that the first bounce was 1 units high, thus the second bounce is 1 / 2 = 0.5 units high and the third bounce is 0.5 / 2 = 0.25 = 1/4 units high.

Given that B represents the second bounce and C represents the first bounce, the <span>fractions in hundredths that should be written at points B is 0.50 while at point C is 0.25</span>
