Apparently, you have the width as W
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, length = W + 5
\n" ); document.write( "With area being 36 sq ft, we get: W(W + 5) = 36, NOT 2W + (2W + 5) = 36
\n" ); document.write( "No, you're NOT on the right track
\n" ); document.write( "Quadratic to solve: \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+W%5E2+%2B+5W+=+36%2C+or%2C+W%5E2+%2B+5W+-+36+=+0%29%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for W, the width, then add 5 to W to get length \n" ); document.write( "
