A rectangular garden is 5 ft longer than it is wide. Its area is 500 ft2. What are its dimensions?

width ft

length ft

Length is 25 and width is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

length = L=5+W

width = W

Area = 500

500 = LW

500 = (5+W) (W)

W^2 + 5W=500

W^2 + 5W - 500=0

(W-20) (W+25) = 0

Therefore length is 25 and width is 20.

the length is 25 and the width is 20
