Answer:
The garden is 9 feet wide and 26 feet long.
Step-by-step explanation:
L = W+17
area = LW = 234
(W+17)W = 234
W²+17W-234 = 0
Quadratic formula
W = [-17 ± √(17² – 4·1(-234))] / [2·1]
= [-17 ± √1225] / 2
= [-17 ± 35] /2
= -26, 9
-26 is an extraneous solution
W = 9
L = W+17 = 26
The garden is 9 feet wide and 26 feet long.

Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
Sn = (n/2)(a1 + a1 + d(n-1)), where S = sum, a1 = first term, n = number of terms, d = common difference
400 = (n/2)(1 + 1 + 2(n - 1))
400 = (n/2)(2 + 2n - 2)
400 = (n/2)(2n
400 = n2
20 = n
Twenty numbers are in the set.
