more than 1 times the length. Find the length and width, in
yards, of the triangle.

Sagot :

Answer:

Width = 11 yards

Length = 9 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length * width      length = x      width = w

Area = 99

width = x + 2

length = x

99 = (x) (x+2)

99 = x^2 + 2x

x = 9, or -11

Since we are talking about length we know x can't be -11, so we can rule that answer out.

We now know x = 9, so the length is 9 yards, now we only need to plug in 9 as x in the width equation.

w = 9 + 2

w = 11

The width is 11 yards and the length is 9 yards.
