Aparcel of land is 8 ft longer than it is wide. each diagonal from one corner to the opposite corner is 232 ft long.
what are the dimensions of the parcel?
width?
length?

width = 160 ft  and length = 168 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A parcel of land is 8 ft longer than it is wide.

diagonal is 232 ft long.

Let 'w' be the width of the parcel and w+8 is the length of the parcel

Diagonal is the hypotenuse . use Pythagorean theorem to find out width 'w'

c=232 , a= w+8 and b= w

Subtract 53824 from both sides

Apply quadratic formula

width = 160  and length = 160+8= 168
