Sam wants to build a wooden deck on his patio, which is in the shape of a parallelogram. The area of the patio is 280 ft2. Find the width. Round your answer to the nearest foot. (height=5x)(width=6x)
area = 5x(6x) = 280
30x^2 = 280
x^2 = 28/3 or 84/9
x = √84/3
width = 6x = 6√84/3 = 2√84 = appr 18.3 ft
or 18 ft to the nearest foot
