15. A rectangular patio has an area of 91 ft. The length is 6 feet longer
than the width. Find the dimensions of the patio. Solve by completing
the square.

a. Find the width and the length in terms of w.

b. Write an equation for the total area.

c. Find (b/2/) ^2

d. Find the dimensions.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) I'm not really sure what is meant but

width = w

length= w+6

b) First, make two equations for the dimensions

- width= w

- length= w+6

-w(w+6)

=w^2+6w

c) I'm unsure of where 'b' came from

d) w^2 + 6w = 91

-(w+3)^2-9 = 91

- (w+3)^2 = 100

-(w+3) = 10

w = 7

width = 7

length = 13

13 X 7 = 91

if x = 1, then the answer is 3.5
