Activity 6: Table Making Time!
Direction: Study the situation below and answer the questions that follow.
Philip Navarette wants to make a table which has an area of 12m2. The length
of the table has to be 1 meter longer than its width.
Questions:
1. If the width of the table is p, what is its length?
2. Form a quadratic equation that represents the situation
3. Compute for the dimensions of the table and determine whether the
dimensions of the table are rational. Explain​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) length is p+1 m

2) quadratic equation is p²+p -12=0

3)from solving the above equation we get

p = -4. or p= 3

the answer is 3 Because negative length doesn't exist

so width= 3m

length= 4m
