Question 201: The length of a rectangular park is 4 m longer than the width. If the area of the park is 140 m^, find the length and the width. Answer by ichudov(507) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! We have length = width + 4. The area is length*width and is 140. Because length = width+4, we have (width+4)*width = 140, or . That's a simple quadratic equation that you can solve on my website. (10 seems to be the obvious root)
