: Can someone help me out with this one?
A garden area is 30 ft long and 20 ft wide. A path of uniform width is set around the edge. If the remaining garden area is 400 ft^2, what is the width of the path? This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (30-2x)(20-2x)=400 or 600-40x-60x+4x~2=400 or 4x~2-100x+200=0 or
x~2-25x+50=0 or 9X-22.8)(X-2.19)=0 OR X=22.8 & X=2.19 (USING THE QUADRATIC EQUATION) THUS THE PATHIS ~2.19FT WIDE.
PROOF (30-4.38)(20-4.38)=400 OR 25.62*15.62=400 OR 400=400
