Problema Solution
the greenhouse i am building for my wife is 6 feet longer than it is wide. I only have enough concrete for 56 feet of foundation (the number of feet in the foundation is equal to the perimeter of the building) what are the possible values for the length of the building?
Answer provided by our tutors
P = 56
2(x + x + 6) = 56
2(2x + 6) = 56
2x + 6 = 28
2x = 22
x = 11
The length of the buiding are
length = 17
width = 11
