Question:
A rectangular shaped playing field has a length which is 13 m more than its width. If the area is 30
m
2
, find the length and width of the room.
Solution:
Formula Area = width x length
Let the width = w, therefore the length = w + 13
Substitute the given values into the formula
Area = width _ length
30 = w x (w + 13)
30 = w
2
+ 13w
W
2
+ 13w ! 30 = 0
(w ! 2)(w + 15) = 0
w ! 2 = 0 w + 15 = 0
w = 2 w = !15
Therefore we can say the width is equal to 2m and the length is equal to 15m.

Question:
A swimming pool has the length of 12 m and the width of 8 m. A fence is build at the distance of x
metre around it. If the area of the swimming pool is equal to the area of the land bounded by the
fence, determine the value of x.
Solution:
If the area of the swimming pool is equal to the area of the land bounded by the fence,
(2x + 12)(2x +8) = 96(2)
4x
2
+ 40x + 96 = 192
4x
2
+ 40x ! 96 = 0
4(x
2
+ 10x ! 24) = 0
4(x ! 2)(x + 12) = 0
x ! 2 = 0 x = !12
Therefore x = 2 or x = !12.
