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

A hotel is building a large new aquarium for their lobby. They know the length from the top corner to the opposite bottom corner
nignag [31]

Answer:

  • 3 ft, 144 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the width as below

  • l² + w² + h² = d², where l- length, w- width, h- height, d- the distance between top and bottom corners

Substitute the values and solve for w

  • 4² + w² + 12² = 13²
  • w² + 160 = 169
  • w² = 9
  • w = 3 feet

Now find the volume

  • V = lwh
  • V = 4*3*12 = 144 ft³
