ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The given rectangle has area,

It was given to us that, the length of the rectangle is l=(x+8)
To find the width, we need to factor, the expression for the area.
We split the middle term to get,

We now factor by grouping;


We know that area of a rectangle is

Hence the width of the rectangle is,
The ball's velocity will be represented by the derivative of its distance function:

Now find the times

for which this is equal to 30, i.e. solve

This has two solutions,

, but only one is positive and falls in the interval
![[0,3]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B0%2C3%5D)
. So the velocity reaches 30 cm/s when

.
