Well to get the area of 288 the dimensions would be a couple of things but 16 ft by 18 ft seems to work, so the dimensions increase by 4 ft on each side.
12+4=16
14+4=18
18*16=288
We can turn this word problem into the following equation:
x^2 + 85 = (x - 17)^2
x^2 + 85 = x^2 - 34x + 289
-85 -85
_______________________
x^2 = x^2 - 34x + 204
+34x +34x
_______________________
x^2 + 34x = x^2 + 204
-x^2 -x^2
____________________
34x = 204
Divide 34 on both sides
x = 6.
The number is 6.
Answer:
