L=16
W=21
Set up a systems of equations:
x=length
y=width
xy=336
x+5=y
Use substitution to solve:
x(x+5)=336
x^2+5x=336
Solve using factoring:
x^2+5x-336=0
(x-16)(x+21)=0
x=16 and x= -21
Since length can't be negative, l=16
To find width, plug length into the first equation:
(16)y=336
y=21
So...
L=16

3.95 × 3.81 = 15.0485
The road was 15.0485 miles long after the renovation.
Hope this helps!
