The Garden Task

Mathematics
1 answer:

If the perimeter of the garden is (14x - 32) ft and has a side length of (x + 2) ft:

  • the perimeter = 24 ft
  • the area = 36 sq. ft
  • if the perimeter of the garden is doubled, the perimeter of the new garden = 48 ft
  • if the area of the garden is doubled, the area of the new garden = 72 sq. ft

<em><u>Recall</u></em>:

  • A square has equal side lengths
  • Perimeter of a square = 4(side length)
  • Area of a square = (side $ length)^2

<em><u>Given:</u></em>

Perimeter of square (P) = (14x - 32) $ ft

Side length (s) = (x + 2) $ ft

<em><u>First, let's find the </u></em><em><u>value of x</u></em><em><u> by creating an </u></em><em><u>equation </u></em><em><u>using the </u></em><em><u>perimeter </u></em><em><u>formula:</u></em>

  • Perimeter of a square = 4(side length)

  • Plug in the values

(14x - 32) = 4(x + 2)

  • Solve for x

14x - 32 = 4x + 8\\\\14x - 4x = 32 + 8\\\\10x = 40\\\\x = 4

<em><u>Find how much fencing would be needed (</u></em><em><u>Perimeter </u></em><em><u>of the fence):</u></em>

  • Perimeter of the fence = (14x - 32) $ ft

  • Plug in the value of x

Perimeter of the fence = 14(4) - 32 = 24 $ ft

<em><u>Find the </u></em><em><u>area </u></em><em><u>of the garden:</u></em>

  • Area of the garden = (side $ length)^2

Area = (x + 2)^2

  • Plug in the value of x

Area = (4 + 2)^2 = 6^2 = 36 $ ft^2

<u><em>Find the </em></u><u><em>perimeter </em></u><u><em>if the garden size is doubled:</em></u>

  • Perimeter of the new garden = 2 x 24 = 48 ft

<em><u>Find the </u></em><em><u>area </u></em><em><u>if the garden size is doubled:</u></em>

  • Perimeter of the new garden = 2 x 36 = 72 sq. ft

In summary, if the perimeter of the garden is (14x - 32) ft and has a side length of (x + 2) ft:

  • the perimeter = 24 ft
  • the area = 36 sq. ft
  • if the perimeter of the garden is doubled, the perimeter of the new garden = 48 ft
  • if the area of the garden is doubled, the area of the new garden = 72 sq. ft

Solve for b2 in A = 1/2 h ( b1 + b2 ), if A = 16, h = 4, and b1 = 3.
Katarina [22]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

b2 = 5  


Discussion:

A = 1/2 h (b1 + b2) .

Substituting A = 16, h = 4, and b1=3 in the above formula gives:

16 = (1/2) (4)( 3 + b2)    =>         (as (1/2)4 = 2) )

16 = 2 ( 3 + b2)             =>         (divide both sides by 2)

8 = (3 + b2)                   =>         (subtract 3 from both sides)

8-3  = b2                       =>

5     =  b2


Check Area formula:

Does A = 16 = (1/2)(4)(3+5)   ?

Does 16 = (1/2) (4)(8)             ?

Does 16 = (1/2)(32)                ?  Yes it does so our calculation for b2 is correct




Thank you,

MrB
