Question

Mr. Jackson had a rectangular shaped garden where the width was 5m less than the length. If the Area of the garden was 696 square meters; find the dimensions of the garden.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Length- 29

Width- 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Take length to be 'x'...so width will be 'x-5' as given

Area=696=length×width

696=(x)×(x-5)

U will get a quadratic equation.... solving which will fetch u the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

x is 29

x-5 is 24

x(x+5)=696

x^2+5x-696=0

x=-48/2=-24

or

x=58/2=29

lenth cant be negative therefore x is 29m
