Answer:

The answer to your question is x = 2

Explanation:

Data

Area = 192 in²

Polynomial 2x² + 48x + 88

Process

1.- Write an equation of the area

2x² + 48x + 88 = 192

2.- Factor

2x² + 48x + 88 - 192 = 0

2x² + 48x - 104 = 0

Divide by two

x² + 24x - 52 = 0

(x + 26)(x - 2) = 0

x₁ = - 26 x₂ = 2

The answer is x = 2, it could not be -26 because there are no negative lengths.
