Question

a rectangular parking lot has length that is greater than the width the area of the parking lot is 160 square yards find the length and the width use formula area=length*width the parking lot length

Answer 1

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
