Question 1003708
the length of a kitchen floor is 3ft more than the width.
the area is 100 sq ft. 
what are the length and width of the kitchen to the nearest hundredth of a foot.
--------------------
Let width = "w"
Then length = "w+3"
------
Equation:
w(w+3) = 100
-----
w^2 + 3w - 100 = 0
------
width = 8.61 ft.
----
length = 8.61+3 = 11.61 ft.
