The area in square feet of a rectangular field is x2 - 140x + 4800. the width, in feet, is x-60. what is the length, in feet?
the length, in feet, is

The length in feet is (x - 80) feet

The area in square feet of a rectangular field is

The width, in feet, is x - 60

To find: length in feet

The area of rectangle is given as:

Now we can simplify area

area =

-140x can be rewritten as -80x - 60x

Taking "x" as common from first two terms and -60 as common from last two terms

area = x(x - 80) -60(x - 80)

Taking (x - 80) as common term

Area = (x - 80)(x - 60)

Substitute area = (x - 80)(x - 60) and width = (x - 60)

Cancelling (x - 60)

length = (x - 80)

Thus the length in feet is (x - 80) feet

the answer is 0.071

good luck! : d
