The length of a parking lot is 5 yards more than the width. If the area of the parking lot is 104 square yards, find the dimensions of the parking lot.
Area= L x W and if the L is 5 yds more than the width is the equation with be... Area(104)=Wx(W+5) so 104=W^2+5w w^2+5W-104 using the quadratic formula you end up getting W=8 L=8+5=13 13*8=104
