Question 661498
rectangular garden has a perimeter 66 ft and area 216 ftsquared
Equations:
L + W = 33 ft
L*W = 216 ft^2
------
Substitute for L and solve for "W:
(33-W)*W = 216
-------
-W^2 + 33W - 216 = 0
-----
W^2 - 33W + 216 = 0
---
Factor:
(W-9)(W-24) = 0
------
If W = 9 ft, L = 24 ft
If W = 24 ft, L = 9 ft
