Let the width that we would add be x
*Then we have 2x since we add on both the top and bottom, left and right
We have then:
(2x+7)(2x+12) = 92
(2x+7)(x+6) = 46
2x²+19x+42 = 46
2x²+19x-4 = 0
Using the Quadratic Formula:
x = -19 ± √(19²+32) = -19 ± √(361+32) = -19 ± √393
4 4 4
We do not consider the negative value since a length is never negative so the width is: √(393) - 19 m
4
