Determine the length and width of the rectangular region of the house
Home -> Solved problems -> Determine the length and width of the rectangular region of the house
Solution
\[\begin{aligned}
\text { Total area } & =A_{triangle}+A_{rectangle} \\\\
& =x(3 x)\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+3 x(x+1) \\\\
& =\frac{3}{2} x^2+3 x^2+3 x \\\\
& =\frac{9}{2} x^2+3 x
\end{aligned}\]
We know that
\[\begin{aligned}
\text { Total area } & =180
\end{aligned}\]
\[\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow \frac{9}{2} x^2+3 x=180 \\\\
\frac{9}{2} x^2+3 x-180=0 \\\\
9 x^2+6 x-360=0 \\\\
3 x^2+2 x-120=0 \\\\
x=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4-4(3)(-120)}}{2(3)} \\\\
x=\frac{-2 \pm 38}{6}=\frac{36}{6} \\\\
x=6
\end{aligned}
