Question 149399: Translate the following into a quadratic equation and solve it: The length of a rectangular garden is three times its width; if the area of the garden is 75 square meters, what are its dimensions? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Translate the following into a quadratic equation and solve it: The length of a rectangular garden is three times its width; if the area of the garden is 75 square meters, what are its dimensions?
-------------------
Let width be "x".
Then length is "3x".
EQUATION:
x(3x) = 75
3x^2 = 75
x^2 = 25
x = 5 meters (width)
3x = 15 meters (length)
