Question

The area of a rectangular skate park is 6/11 square miles. The length of the

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is 150 ft

Process

1.- Find the area of the city skate park

2.- Find the equation of the area of the new city skate park.

3.- Find the value of "x",

1.-  Area = length x width

   Area = 100 x 50

            = 5000 ft²

2.-    (100 + x) /50 + x) = 15000

       x² + 150x + 5000 = 15000

       x² + 150x + 5000 - 15000 = 0

       x² + 150x - 10000 = 0

      Factor the equation

      (x + 200)(x - 50) = 0

       x₁ = -200     x₂ = 50       Length can not be negative so the answer is

                                              50.

      New length = 100 + 50 = 150 ft
