Look at the image below where I labeled the sides
To solve this you must use Pythagorean theorem:
a and b are the legs (the sides that form a perpendicular/right angle)
c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)
In this case...
a = 4
b = 6
c = unknown
^^^Plug these numbers into the theorem
simplify
16 + 36 =
52 =
To remove the square from x take the square root of both sides to get you...
√52 = x
^^^Unsimplified radical
2√13
^^^Simplified radical
7.21
^^^Rounded to hundedths
Hope this helped!

Let b= length and a=width
Area= a*b and the problem said b=2a+3 (the length is 3ft more than double the width)
Replace b into Area formula:
Area= a*(2a+3) and we know that Area=77ft from the problem, so:
77=2a^2+3a now order and equal to zero:
2a^2+3a=77 now solve this with quadratic formula and you will get so values for a: -7ft and 5.5ft as you know the dimensions could not be negative so the correct answer for "a" side is 5.5ft, for getting the b side you haeve to replace a=5.5 into b=2a+3 and you will get b=2*5.5+3= 14ft.
Finished.
The solution is in the picture
