Question

An architect wants to create a rectangular sun

porch in a house. He wants it to have a total area of
144 square feet, and it should be 8 feet longer than
it is wide. Find the length and width of the
rectangular garden. Round your answers to the
nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

68 +76

So we do 144/2=72

since its an 8 foot difference subtract 72-4 and 72+4 we get 68 and 76 hope this helped!
