PLEASE HELP ASAP

The manager of a park enclosed an area for small dogs to play. He made the length 15 feet longer than the width and enclosed an area covering 1350 square feet. What are the dimensions of the dogs' play area?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation!

width = w

length = w + 15

So: w(w + 15) =1250 square feet

w^2 + 15w = 1250

Next you do: w^2+15w-1250=0

Then you use the quadratic formula to factor.
