A Rectangle has a length that is one foot longer than it’s width. If the area of the rectangle is 210ft^2 what are the dimensions?

Required Answer:-

Let

[tex]\qquad\quad {:}\longmapsto\sf The\: breadth =x\: ft[/tex]

[tex]\qquad\quad {:}\longmapsto\sf The\:length=x+1ft[/tex]

[tex]\qquad\quad {:}\longmapsto\sf Area=210ft^2 [/tex]

  • As we know that in a rectangle

[tex]{\boxed {\sf Area=length\times Breadth}}[/tex]

  • Substitute the values

[tex]\qquad\quad {:}\longmapsto\sf x (x+1)=210 [/tex]

[tex]\qquad\quad {:}\longmapsto\sf x^2+x=210 [/tex]

[tex]\qquad\quad {:}\longmapsto\sf x^2+x-210=0 [/tex]

  • Factorise

[tex]\qquad\quad {:}\longmapsto\sf x^2+15x-14x-210=0 [/tex]

[tex]\qquad\quad {:}\longmapsto\sf x (x+15)-14 (x+15)=0 [/tex]

[tex]\qquad\quad {:}\longmapsto\sf (x+15)(x-14)=0 [/tex]

[tex]\qquad\quad {:}\longmapsto\sf x+15=0\:or\:x-14=0 [/tex]

[tex]\qquad\quad {:}\longmapsto\sf x=-15\:or\:x=14 [/tex]

  • In menstruation there is no negative value .
  • So (x=-15) can't be possible.

Hence correct value

[tex]\qquad\quad {:}\longmapsto\sf x=14[/tex]
