Chapter 2, Problem 38P

An engineering co-op wants to hire an asphalt contractor to widen the truck entrance to the corporate headquarters as shown in Fig. P2.38.

Chapter 2, Problem 38P, An engineering co-op wants to hire an asphalt contractor to widen the truck entrance to the

The height h is required to be 10 ft. more than the width b. and the total area of the new asphalt is given by A = 1 2 b ( 10 + b ) .

(a) If A = 200 sq. ft., obtain the quadratic equation for b. (b) Solve the quadratic equation found in part (a) by completing the square and the quadratic formula.

(c) Find the dimensions of the width
