Answer 1

Answer:

Width of rectangular garden = 10 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Area of rectangle garden = 150 m²

Length of rectangular garden = 5 meters more than its width

Find:

Width of rectangular garden

Computation:

Assume;

Width of rectangular garden = W

So,

Length of rectangular garden = 5 + W

Area of rectangle garden = length x width

(W)(W + 5) = 150

W² + 5W = 150

W² + 5W - 150 = 0

W² + 15W - 10W  - 150 = 0

W(W + 15) - 10(W + 15) = 0

(W + 15)(W - 10)

So,

W = -15, W = 10

Width of rectangular garden = 10 meter
