Problema Solution

a rectangular pen for a pet is 6 feet longer than it is wide. give possible values for the width w of the pen if its area must be between 247 and 775 square feet inclusively

Answer provided by our tutors

L = 6 + W

A = LW = (6 + W)(W) 

247 < A < 775

6W + W^2 > 247

W> 13

6W + W^2 < 775

W < 25

 

13 < W < 25
