A = L * W
A = 320
L = W + 4
320 = W(W + 4)
320 = W^2 + 4W
W^2 + 4W = 320
W^2 + 4W + 4 = 320 + 4
(W + 2)^2 = 324
W + 2 = (+-) sqrt 324
W = -2 (+-) 18
W = -2 + 18 = 16 ft <== this is the width
W = -2 - 18 = -20....not this one because it is negative
L = W + 4
L = 16 + 4
L = 20 ft <=== this is the length
in summary...the width is 16 ft and the length is 20 ft
Answer:
I will answer in a general way because the options are not given.
We know that the area of model A is smaller than the area of model B.
For model A, we have 72 shaded sections, out of 100.
Then the quotient of model A is:
72/100 = 0.72
For model B we have 10 sections, and x shaded ones.
Because model B is greater than model A, we know that:
x/10 should be larger than 72/100
then we have the inequality:
x/10 > 0.72
x > 0.72*10
x > 7.2
And we can not have more than 10 shaded sections (because there is a total of 10 sections) then:
10 ≥ x > 7.2
Then x can be any whole number in that interval.
the possible values of x are:
x = 8
x = 9
x = 10
