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.
