Scale factor of area is the square of the scale factor of length

The required values are;

  • The length of one sides of the garage was originally approximately <u>19.2 ft.</u>
  • The length of one of the sides of the garage is now approximately <u>23.6 feet</u> long
  • The percentage increase in length is approximately <u>22.5 %</u>

Reason:

The given parameters are;

The area of the square garage = 370 ft.²

The area of the new garage has 50% more space

Required;

Part A

The initial side length

The initial side length, given to the nearest tenth, <em>s</em>, is the square root of the area, <em>A</em>, given as follows;

  • s = √(370 ft.²) ≈ 19.2 ft.

Part B

The side was increased by 50%, to give,

370 + 0.5×370 = 555

The new area of the garage = 555 ft.²

The side length of the new garage, s = √(555) ≈ 23.6

  • The side of the garage now is 23.6 ft.

Part C

The percentage increase is given as follows;

The \ percentage \  increase \ in \ length = \dfrac{New \ length - Initial \ length}{Initial \ length }

The \ percentage \  increase \ in \ length = \dfrac{\sqrt{555}  - \sqrt{370} }{\sqrt{370}  } \times  100 \approx 22.5 \%

  • The percentage increase in length of the side of the garage is approximately 22.5 %

Answer:

1. distance = sqrt( (7-7)^2+(2- -8)^2) = 10

2.  check out desk (0,0 ) => distance = sqrt( (0- -9)^2+(0-0)^2) = 9

3. last corner ( -3, 4)

4. area = sqrt( (-10- -10)^2+(10-4)^2) x sqrt( (-3- -10)^2+(10-10)^2) = 6x7 =42

5. check desk (0,0), south direction = negative y axis => P_beginning (0,-20), P_end (0,-(20+25)) = (0,-45)

6. A(-2,-1) and B(4,-1) lie in y =-1. AB = sqrt( (-2- 4)^2+(-1- -1)^2) =6

=> area = 3.6x6 =21.6

=> peri = 2x(3.6+6) = 19.2

7. A(-5,4) and B(2,4), AB =  sqrt( (-5- 2)^2+(4- -4)^2) = 7 => AB is base

=> p = peri = 7+ 8.3x2 = 23.6

=> area = sqrt[px(p-7)x(p-8.3)x(p-8.3)]

             =sqrt[23.6x(23.6-7)x(23.6-8.3)x(23.6-8.3)] = 302.8
