Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangular Pen.
8 + w
__________________________
w | |
|_________________________|
Now, we multiply these two together and equal it to 209.
w(8 + w) = 209
[tex]8w + w^{2}[/tex] = 209
[tex]w^{2} + 8w - 209[/tex]
(w - 11)(w+19)
w = 11
w = -19
We can't use -19 because no length can be negative, so we use 11.
So the width is 11, and the length is 19.
The answer is A, or the width has to be greater than 11.
