Problema Solution
a rectangular parking lot has a length that is 6 yards greater than the width. The area of the parking lot is 160 square yards, find the length and width
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'w' represent the width of the parking lot, then 'w+6' represents its length
area = width * length
160 = w * (w+6)
solving for 'w' we have a positive value of w=10
10+6=16
the width of the parking lot is 10 yards, the length of the parking lot is 16 yards
