What should the dimensions of the carpet be?-The room dimensions are 12feet by 27feet.which you can solve with the quadratic formula to get Width, and length [3 +2W].positive -- like -27/2 which will satisfy the original equation, but is unrealistic.......
Alice is cutting carpet for a rectangular room. The area of the room is 324ft^2. The length of the room is 3ft longer than twice the width. What should the dimensions of the carpet be?

The room dimensions are 12feet by 27feet.

You get that from this equation: Width(length) = 324

W[3 +2W] =324 which becomes this quadratic: 2W² +3W -324 = 0
which you can solve with the quadratic formula to get Width, and length [3 +2W].
[When using the quadratic formula you'll want to discard solutions that are not
positive -- like -27/2 which will satisfy the original equation, but is unrealistic.]

l=27
