Step-by-step explanation:

Dimension of rectangular bed is

length = 10 meters and width = 6 meters

Equation is [tex]w^2+4w-60=0[/tex]

Given :

a rectangular flower bed is designed to be 4 meters longer than it is wide

60 square meters are needed for the plants in the bed.

Let 'w' be the width of the flower bed

and 'L' be the length of the flower bed

Length is 4 meters longer than its width

Length L= w+4

We know that the area of rectangle = length times width

[tex]Area = L \cdot W\\A=(w+4)(w)\\A=w^2+4w[/tex]

Given that the area is 60 square meters

Replace A by 60  and solve for 'w'

[tex]60=w^2+4w\\w^2+4w-60=0\\(w+10)(w-6)=0\\w+10=0, w=-10\\w-6=0, w=6[/tex]

Width cannot be negative, so width = 6 meters

length = width +4 = 6+4=10 meters

Dimension of rectangular bed is

length = 10 meters and width = 6 meters
