The length of each side of the original square is 4 m

<h3>How to calculate the area of a square?</h3>

A square each side x is transformed into a rectangle by increasing the length by 8 m. Thus, new length = x + 8

The new width increases by 5 m will be;

New width = x + 5

If the area of the resulting rectangle is 108 m², then we have;

(x + 5)(x + 8) = 108

x² + 13x + 40 = 108

x² + 13x - 68 = 0

x² + 17x - 4x - 68 = 0

x(x + 17) - 4(x + 17) = 0

(x + 17)(x - 4) = 0

x = 4 or -17

ignore negative

So side of square = 4 m

Write the equation of a line that passes through ( 4, 6), and has a slope of 1/3
nlexa [21]

Answer:

y = 1/3x + 14/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

we know the slope, so the equation would be --> y = 1/3x + b

Now we plug in the coordinates of the given point (4, 6) the line goes through, and solve for b:

y = 1/3x + b

6 = 1/3(4) + b

6 = 4/3 + b

-4/3   -4/3

----------------

14/3 = b
