<PRE><B>Question 816340</B>
L = 2w - 5
wL = 33
---
wL = 33
w(2w - 5) = 33
2w^2 - 5w - 33 = 0
---
the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=2, b=-5, and c=-33
---
to solve the quadratic equation, plug this:
2 -5 -33
into this: https://sooeet.com/math/quadratic-equation-solver.php
---
the roots of the quadratic are:
w = -3
w = 5.5
---
the negative root doesn&#39;t make sense for a length, so use the positive root
---
Answer:
w = 5.5 ft
L = 6.0 ft
