Answer:
Area = length x width
160 = (x+8)(x+6)
160 = x2 + 14x + 48
x2 + 14x - 112 = 0 and solve with the quadratic formula and get x=-7+sqrt(161)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x = √73
Step-by-step explanation: Ration = (x+8) : (x+6)
Let x be the length and breadth
Length = (x+8)x
breadth = (x+6)x
Area = 160 feet sq.
= (x+8)x = x² + 8x = length
(x+6)x = x²+6x = breadth
→x²+8x+x²+6x = 160
2x²+14 = 160
2x² = 146
x² = 73
x= √73
