Asked by Hannah
The diagram below represents the measurements of Jennie’s yard. The yard’s width is x feet shorter than its length. If the area of the yard is 540 square feet, how many feet shorter than the length is the width?
A yard with a length of 30 feet and a width of (30 minus x) feet.
Solve the equation to find how many feet shorter than the length the width is.
30(30 – x) = 540
What is the value for x?

30(30 − x) = 540
Divide both sides by 30: 30 − x = 18
So x = 30 − 18 = 12
The width is 12 feet shorter than the length.
Divide both sides by 30: 30 − x = 18
So x = 30 − 18 = 12
The width is 12 feet shorter than the length.
