Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The side of the square is w/2, then its area is:</u>

  • A = (w/2)² = w²/4

<u>The shaded area is the difference of areas of the rectangle and the square:</u>

  • 14w - w²/4 = 84

<u>This can be simplified:</u>

  • 56w - w² = 336
  • w² - 56w + 336 = 0
