Problema Solution
Katie Ward is building a children's playhouse. She wants each window to have an area of 315 square inches for adequate air. For eye appeal, she wants each window to be 6 inches higher than wide. What are the dimensions of the window?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'w' represent the width of the window, then 'w+6' represents the height
area = length * width
315 = w(w+6)
solving for 'w' we have a positive value of w=15
15+6=21
the window is 15 inches wide and 21 inches high
