Answer:
A)
Step-by-step explanation:
length = x +x + 2 = 2x + 2
Width = 2+ x
Area of rectangle = length *width
(x +2)(2x + 2) = 110
Use FOIL method
x*2x + x*2 + 2*2x + 2*2 = 110
2x² + 2x + 4x + 4 - 110 = 0 {Combine like terms}
2x² +6x - 106 = 0
a = 2 ; b = 6 ; c = -106
b² - 4ac = 6² - 4*2*(-106)
= 36 + 848
= 884
[tex]\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}=\sqrt{884}= 29.73[/tex]
[tex]x =\dfrac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a} \ ; \ x==\dfrac{-b-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \dfrac{-6+29.73}{2*2} \ ; \ x =\dfrac{-6-29.73}{2*2} \ this \ is \ ignored \ as \ it \ is \ negative\\\\x=\dfrac{23.73}{4};[/tex]
x = 5.93 m
