Answer:
Width = 11 yards
Length = 9 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = length * width length = x width = w
Area = 99
width = x + 2
length = x
99 = (x) (x+2)
99 = x^2 + 2x
x = 9, or -11
Since we are talking about length we know x can't be -11, so we can rule that answer out.
We now know x = 9, so the length is 9 yards, now we only need to plug in 9 as x in the width equation.
w = 9 + 2
w = 11
The width is 11 yards and the length is 9 yards.
