Q:

The area of a rectangular television screen is 3456 in^2. The width is 24 inches longer than the height. What is a quadratic equation that represents the area of the screen?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:h² + 24h - 3456 = 0 Step-by-step explanation:The formula for the area of a rectangle is  A =  width × height = wh If A = 3456 and w = h + 24,            (h + 24)h = 3456            h² + 24h = 3456     Distributed the h h² + 24h - 3456 = 0           Subtracted 3456 from each side A quadratic equation that represents the area of the screenis h² + 24h - 3456 = 0.
