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
