You have made a quilt that is 4 feet by 5 feet. You want to use the remaining 10 square feet of fabric to add a decorative border of uniform width. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Part a: Write a quadratic equation set equal to zero that you could use to determine the width of the border .
\n" ); document.write( "Length of border = 2(4+5) = 18 feet
\n" ); document.write( "Let the width be \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "18x = 10 sq ft
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5/9 ft (width of the border
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Part b: The width of the border should be ? feet.
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5/9 ft (width of the border
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
