SOLUTION: Garden area=30ftx20ft=600ft sq let uniform width = x.x = x2 Therefore, x2 + 400 = 600 x2 = 600 -400 = 200 x = ± SQRT(200) x = ± 14.14 (ignore

Question 45494: Garden area=30ftx20ft=600ft sq
let
uniform width = x.x = x2
Therefore,
x2 + 400 = 600
x2 = 600 -400
= 200
x = ± SQRT(200)
x = ± 14.14 (ignore negative value; no such value for width)
Therefore,
x = 14.14
