The area of a rectangular lot is to be 1456 square feet. If the width of the lot is 24 feet less than the length, what is the dimention of the lot?
---------------------
length:: x ft
width:: x-24 ft
-----
Equation:
x(x-24) = 1456
---------
x^2 - 24x - 1456 = 0
-----
x = 52 ft (length)
x-24 = 28 ft (width)
---------------------
Cheers,
