Question 901870: Hi, can someone please help me with this word problem? I have been trying to figure out the answer for the past 4 days! It says the following: "A rectangular yard is 20 feet longer than it is wide. Determine the dimensions of the yard if it measures 100 ft diagonally.
The equation I came up with is the following:
(20+2w)(2+2w)=100ft. W=width,
40+40w+4w+4w^2=100
40+44w+4w^2-100=0
4w^2+44w-60=0
2(w^2+22w+30)=0 this is as far as I got and that's prime. I know there is a real answer not just prime. I would really appreciate your help! Thank you for your time!
