Question 143069: Solve the following problems involving applications of polynomials
A rectangular parking lot is 50 ft longer than it is wide. Determine the dimensions of the parking lot if it measures 250 ft diagonally. Answer by vleith(2983) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let width = w. Then length = w+50
diagonal = 250
Use Pythagorean theorem.
Use quadratic equation and solve. a = 1, b = 50 c = -30000
