The length of a rectangle is 15ft greater than the width. The area is 100 square ft. Find the length and the Width.​

Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

so let's say that the width is x then the length is x+15

and the area of a square is length times width

x(x+15)=100

x^2+15x-100=0

(x+20)(x-5)=0

x=5 or x=-20 but a side length can't be negative so x would equal 5

Length=x+15 with 5 as x

Length=20

Width=5

Hope that helps :)
