Question 1198704: Michelle wants her room to be increased in size by at least 40 square meters. She wants to increase the length and the width by the same amount. (a) Find the quadratic function to model this. (b) Determine the initial dimensions (length and width) of the room. (c) Determine by how much do we need to increase the length and width to get Michelle's desired room size. Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source):
We have to know the initial dimensions of the room to find the quadratic function in part (a)... but part (b) asks us to determine the initial dimensions.
