a clothing store had a rectangular clearance section with a length that is twice the width w. during a sale, the secrion is expanded to an area of 2w^2 + 19w+35ft^2. find the amount of the increase in the length and width of the clearance section

Respuesta :

Answer:

The length is increased by 5 feet and width is increased by 7 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of section is twice the width.

During sale the section is expanded to an area = [tex](2w^2+19w+35)\ ft^2[/tex]

To find increase in length and width.

Solution:

Let the length of the section be = [tex]l\ ft[/tex]

width of the section = [tex]w\ ft[/tex]

Expression for area :

[tex]2w^2+19w+35[/tex]

Factoring:

[tex]2w^2+14w+5w+35[/tex]

[tex]2w(w+7)+5(w+7)[/tex]

[tex](2w+5)(w+7)[/tex]

So, area of the section after increase can be given as [tex](2w+5)(w+7)[/tex]

We know that length is twice the width, which means:

[tex]l=2w[/tex]

Substituting the value of [tex]2w[/tex] in the factored expression of area.

[tex](l+5)(w+7)[/tex]

Since area of triangle is product of length and width, so we have:

New length of section = [tex](l+5)\ ft[/tex]

New width of the section = [tex](w+7)\ ft[/tex]

Thus, length is increased by 5 feet and width is increased by 7 feet.
