Example :
\n" ); document.write( "The length of a rectangle is three more than twice the width. Determine the dimensions that will give a total area of \"27m%5E2\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Solution: \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First we need to draw a picture to visualize the problem. Since the length is \"3\" more that twice the width, we will have \"l=2w%2B3\". So we have the following picture:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, since both parts of this question deal with the area of this rectangle, lets begin by generating a function for the area.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Since \"A=wl\" we have:
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=w%282w%2B3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=2w%5E2%2B3w\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First, we want to know what dimensions make an area of \"27m%5E2\". Thus, we can insert \"27\" for \"+A\" into our function and solve for \"w\". \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We have: \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"27=2w%5E2%2B3w\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2w%5E2%2B3w-27=0\".........factor completely\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2w%5E2%2B9w-6w-27=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%282w%5E2-6w%29%2B%289w-27%29=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2w%28w-3%29%2B9%28w-3%29=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28w-3%29+%282w%2B9%29+=+0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solutions:
\n" ); document.write( "if \"%28w-3%29++=+0\"->\"w=3\"
\n" ); document.write( "if \"%282w%2B9%29+=+0+\"->\"w=-9%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, since \"w\" represents the \"width\" of a rectangle we must omit the negative value.Therefore, we have \"w=3\". Plugging that value into \"l=2w%2B3\" we get \"l=2%2A3%2B3\"->\"l=9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the dimensions that give the rectangle an area of \"27m%5E2\" are \"9m\" by \"3m\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
