Answer:
The side length of the original field is 19 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the side of original square be x
Now we are given that A square field was enlarged by adding 5 feet to the length and width of the original field.
So, length of side of enlarged field = x+5
Area of new enlarged field = [tex]Side^2 = (x+5)^2[/tex]
We are given that the area of the enlarged field is 576 square feet
So, [tex](x+5)^2=576[/tex]
[tex]x+5=\sqrt{576}[/tex]
[tex]x+5=24[/tex]
[tex]x=24-5[/tex]
[tex]x=19[/tex]
Hence The side length of the original field is 19 feet
