Niles and Frasier are brothers who have competed with each other all their lives, and continue to do so as adults. When Niles decided to put a rectangular pool in his backyard this summer, Frasier learned of his plans and decided he had to put a pool in his yard, too. To annoy Niles as much as possible, Frasier plans to build the same shape rectangle as his brother(the ratio of length to width is identical), but of course he will make his larger.
When Niles proudly announced his plans to Frasier, he said "My new pool will be 4 meters wide."
"That's nothing!" exclaimed Frasier. "I'm building one, too, and my new pool will be 6 meters longer than yours. And the width of my pool will be the same length of yours!"
Find the area of Frasier's new pool. Express your answer in SIMPLIFIED RADICAL FORM - don't use any rounded decimals.
So, I already started this using the quadratic equation and did a diagram and everything and got x= 15 and -11. My teacher says I somehow end up with a binomial? Help please, if you can.
