Answer: w=5 , L= 2+2(5)=12
Step-by-step explanation:
L=2+2W
A= 60
LxW=60, now we will replace the L
(2+2W)(W)=60 we multiply
2w^2+2w=60
2w^2+2w-60=0 we divide by 2 the equation so we can work easier
w^2+w-30=0
find out w using the quadratic equation
we will get 2 solution,
w=5 and another solution is -6, which is not valid, as the side can not be negative
