A landscaper is constructing a rectangular garden with an area of 120 square feet. He draws the garden on paper and represents the length as (x-3) and the width as (x-7). Find the length and the width of the garden. Options:
1. 3.00 feet
2. 4.00 feet
3. 0.65 feet
4. 4.65 feet
5. 7.65 feet

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+
