Question

You plan to build a house that is 1 ½ times as long as it is wide. You want the land around the house to be 20 feet wider than the width of the house, and twice as long as the length of the house, as shown at the right.

Answer 1

The total area with land based on the information given is 3x² + 60x.

How to find the area?

Let the width = x

Let the length = (1.5 × x) = 1.5x

Area = 1.5x × x = 1.5x²

The area along with land:

Width = x + 20

Length = 3 × x = 3x

The total area with land:

= Length × Width

= 3x(x + 20)

= 3x² + 60x.
