The width of the door is [tex]37.8ft[/tex] and the height of the door is [tex]39.6ft[/tex]
Let
[tex]A=\text{the front area of the door}\\h=\text{the height of the door}\\w=\text{the width of the door}[/tex]
From the question
[tex]A=w\times h=1496.9\\h=w+1.8[/tex]
We are to find both the width and the height of the door. To proceed, we have to eliminate the height, and solve for the width. Later, we calculate the value of the height from the width.
Eliminate the height;
[tex]A=w\times h\\A=w\times(w+1.8)\\w^2+1.8w-A=0[/tex]
substitute the value of the front area into the equation and solve for the width
[tex]w^2+1.8w-1496.9=0\\w\approx 37.8\text{ or }w\approx-39.6[/tex]
the width can only take positive value. Now, to get the height
[tex]h=w+1.8\\=37.8+1.8\\=39.6[/tex]
the width and height of the door are [tex]37.8ft[/tex] and [tex]39.6ft[/tex] respectively.
