Answer:
The dimensions of the bar are width = 4.68099 feet and length = 10.06198 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A chocolate bar has a rectangular shape, therefore it's area is given by the following formula:
area = width*length
In this case the length is 0.7 feet longer than twice the width, therefore:
length = 2*width + 0.7
Applying the second equation on the first one and using the data from the question we have:
47.1 = width*(2*width + 0.7)
47.1 = 2*width² + 0.7*width
2*width² + 0.7*width = 47.1
width² + 0.35*width = 23.55
width =
width = 4.68099 or width = -5.03099
Since the width can't be negative, it can only be 4.68099 feet.
length = 2*4.68099 + 0.7 = 10.06198 feet.
