Lw = 1880
L = w + 7
---
Lw = 1880
(w + 7)w = 1880
ww + 7w - 1880 = 0
---
the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=1, b=7, and c=-1880
---
to solve the quadratic equation, by using the quadratic formula, copy and paste this:
1 7 -1880
into this solver: https://sooeet.com/math/quadratic-equation-solver.php
---
the two real roots (i.e. the two x-intercepts), of the quadratic are:
w = 40
w = -47
negative width doesn't make sense for width, so use the positive root
---
answer:
w = 40 m
L = 47 m
perimeter = 174 m
