Question

The length of a rectangular window is 5 feet more than its width, w. The area of the

window is 36 square feet. Which equation could be used to find the dimensions of the
window?
A. w+5w = 36
B. 5w2 +w=36
C. w2+5 = 36
D. W2 + 5w=36
​

Answer 1

The equation could be used to find the dimensions of the window would be:
`w^(2) + 5w = 36`

Explanation:

as

• The length of a rectangular window is 5 feet more than its width, w.

and

• The area of the window is 36 square feet.

So it means

`l = w + 5`

`A = lw`

`36 = (w + 5)w`

`w^(2) + 5w = 36`

Therefore, the equation could be used to find the dimensions of the window would be:
`w^(2) + 5w = 36`
