Question

Jose needs to enclose a rectangular section of his yard. The perimeter of the section is 27 feet, and the area is 35 square feet. Find the length and width of the section.

Part II: The equation for area is A = LW. Substitute the expression you found for W in Part I into the area equation. Then, if the area is equal to 35 square feet, write the equation in standard form with a, b, and c as whole numbers.

Answer 1

Let the width be W and length be L
LW = 35
L = 35/W
Perimeter = 2 ( Length + Width )
27 = 2 ( 35/W + W )
13.5 = (35+ W^2) / W
W^2 - 13.5W + 35 = 0
W^2 - 10W - 3.5W +35 = 0
W ( W -10) - 3.5 ( W - 10) = 0
( W-3.5) ( W-10) = 0
W = 3.5 or 10
ANSWER Width = 3.5' Length = 10'
Not sure tho lol
