the length of a rectangular window is 5 feet more than its width,w. the area of the window is 36 feet. Which equation could be used to find the dimension of the window
Ans:
Let the width be w feet
Length = w + 5 feet
Area = length * width = (w + 5)*w = 36
i.e. w%5E2+%2B+5%2Aw+-+36+=+0
This is the equation which can be used to find the dimension of the window.
