A rectangular garden has a length twice as great as its width. A second rectangular garden has the same length as the first garden and width that is 4 meters greater than the width of the first garden. The second garden has an area of 120 square meters. What is the length of the two gardens?

length of each is 12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

for larger rectangle:

let '2w' = length

let 'w+4' = width

2w(w+4) = 120

2w² + 8w - 120 = 0

simplify by dividing each term by 2 to get:

2(w² + 4x - 60) = 0

(w-6)(w+10) = 0

width cannot be negative 10 and is therefore equal to 6

since length is '2w' then length is 2(6) which is 12

omg what happend to your question? if you could edit this question i can

step-by-step explanation:

answer: both chords and diameters have two endpoints on a circle. diameters must intersect the center of a circle.
