Question 887007

A rectangular Garden has an area of 132 m^2 and a perimeter of 46 m. What equation would describe the area of the garden? Write the equation in terms of the width of the garden 
<pre>
Let width be W
Since perimeter = 46, then 2L + 2W = 46_____L + W = 23______L = 23 - W
W(23 - W) = area, or {{{23W - W^2 = 132}}}______{{{highlight_green(highlight_green(A(W) = - W^2 + 23W - 132))}}}
