The length of the rectangle (8g-5) meters and the width of the rectangle is (2g+4) meters.
\n" ); document.write( " If the area of the rectangle is 585 square meters, find the value of g as it relates to this rectangle,
\n" ); document.write( "L*W = 585
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "(8g-5)*(2g+4) = 585
\n" ); document.write( "FOIL
\n" ); document.write( "16g^2 + 32g - 10g - 20 - 585 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "A quadratic equation
\n" ); document.write( "16g^2 + 22g - 605 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Use the quadratic formula.a=16; b=22; c=-605
\n" ); document.write( "Positive solution
\n" ); document.write( "g = 5.5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the numerical value of the length, and the numerical value of the width.
\n" ); document.write( "L: 8(5.5) - 5 = 39 is the length
\n" ); document.write( "W: 2(5.5) + 4 = 15 is the width
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if that checks, find the area.
\n" ); document.write( "39 * 15 = 585 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
