In this problem we are just subtracting the area of a large rectangle from a smaller one.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "W=width of the park\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "L=W+5=Length of the park\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area of the park rectangle is A=W(W+5)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We know that the border all around is 2.5m
\n" ); document.write( "Thus the width of the lawn is w-2(2.5)=w-5
\n" ); document.write( "Thus the length of the lawn is w+5-2(2.5)=w\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The equation is as follows=\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area of the park-Area of the lawn=area of the border=330m^2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "W(W+5)-(W-5)W=330\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "W^2+5W-W^2+5W=330\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10W=330\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 10
\n" ); document.write( "W=33\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The dimensions of the park is 33m x38m\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The dimensions of the lawn is 28m x33m\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let's double check our answer\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "33(38)-28(33)=
\n" ); document.write( "1254-924=330\r
