A room has an area of 456 square feet. One dimension is 5 feet more than the other. What is the dimensions of the room?

Respuesta :

Draw a rectangle. Label the length x and the width (x+5). A = L*W => x(x+5)=456 => x^2 +5x-456=0 => Solve for x using Quad formula. x=19 and x=-24
So your dimensions are 19 and 24
