Question

10. A carpenter has 18 square feet of wood to construct the top of

a picnic table for a local park. The park officials would like the
length to be 3 feet more than the width. What would the
dimensions need to be for the picnic table?

Answer 1

length is 6 and breadth is 3

Explanation:

A=L×B

18=3B×B

18=3B

DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY 3

B=6

THEREFORE L=6

B=6÷2=3
