Answer from: SissyBoo9680

40 ft × 75 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the one side ( in feet ) of the rectangular parcel,

So, the diagonal between opposite corners = ( x + 10 ) feet,

Let y be the other side of the rectangle ( adjacent to side x ),

The area of the rectangle,

A = x × y,

According to the question,

A = 3000 square ft,

$\implies xy = 3000\implies y=\frac{3000}{x}$

∵ In a rectangle,

D^2=a^2+b^2

Where, a and b are the adjacent side of the rectangle and D is the diagonal,

(x+10)^2 = x^2 + y^2

$(x+10)^2 = x^2 + \frac{9000000}{x^2}$

x^2(x+10)^2 = x^4 + 9000000

x^2(x^2+100+20x) = x^4 + 9000000

x^4+100x^2 + 20x^3 = x^4 + 9000000

20x^3 + 100x^2 - 9000000=0

x^3 + 5x^2 - 450000 = 0

By graphing the equation,

We found that,

The only real zeros of the equation is at x = 75,

Hence, the one side of the rectangle = 75 ft,

And, second side = $\frac{3000}{75}$ = 40 ft

Hence, the dimension of the land is 40 ft × 75 ft

Answer from: quincytonia

40 ft by 75 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the dimensions, with x being the dimension 10 less than the diagonal. The Pythagorean theorem tells us ...

(x +10)² = x² + y²

x² +20x +100 = x² +y²

Then solving for x gives ...

x = (y² -100)/20

and substituting for x in the area formula, we get ...

xy = 3000

((y² -100)/20)y = 3000

y³ -100y = 60000

This cubic can be solved a variety of ways. One is "guess and check". The solution will be very near ∛60000 ≈ 39, so we might guess y=40. Checking, we see that is indeed the solution:

40³ -100·40 = 60000

64000 -4000 = 60000 . . . . verifies y=40 is the solution

Then x=3000/40 = 75, and we have found the dimensions of the rectangle to be 40 ft by 75 ft.

___

Another way to solve the cubic is graphically. We can rewrite it as ...

y³ -100y -60000 = 0

and look for the zero of the cubic expression on the left. A graph shows it to be y=40.

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
