a. write an equation that represents this information
b. find the length and width of the field

Answer 1

Answer:

1. x²+5x-374 = 0 is the equation.

2. w = 17 and l = 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given l = w + 5

Let w = x feet then l = x+5 feet

Area = l * w = x*(x+5) = x²+5x

x²+5x = 374

Turning into a quadratic equation we have

x²+5x-374 = 0

x²+22x-17x-374 = 0

(x+22) * (x-17) = 0

Since x can't be -ve so x = 17

Hence w = 17 and l = 22

Answer 2
