<h2>Answer:</h2>

6\frac{1}{2}<u>, "six and one over two ft".</u>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let's considerate the fact that the garden has a <u>square shape</u>.

<h3>1. Finding values of interest.</h3>

Amount of fence that the gardener already has: 4\frac{1}{2} ft.

Length of one side: 2\frac{3}{4} ft.

If one side measures 2\frac{3}{4} ft, and the square garden has 4 sides of equal length, because it's a square, then we must multiply the measure of one side by 4 to find the total length of fence needed:

4*(2\frac{3}{4})=\\ \\4*(2+\frac{3}{4})=\\ \\(4*2)+(4*\frac{3}{4})=\\ \\8+(\frac{12}{4} )=\\ \\8+3=\\ \\11

<h3>2. How much more does he need?</h3>

The gardener already has  4\frac{1}{2} , which equals 4 + \frac{1}{2}. Hence, the difference between the amount needed and the amount that the gardeneralready has will give us the remaining amount required. Let's do that:

11-(4+\frac{1}{2} )=\\ \\11-(\frac{8}{2} +\frac{1}{2} )=\\ \\11-\frac{9}{2}= \\ \\\frac{22}{2} -\frac{9}{2}=\\\\ \frac{13}{2}

<h3>3. Express your result.</h3>

\frac{13}{2} =\\ \\\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{1}{2}= \\ \\6+\frac{1}{2}=\\ \\6\frac{1}{2}

A counter top is 18 feet long and 3 feet wide. What is the area of the counter top in square meters? Use the conversion 1 foot =
podryga [215]

Answer:

Area of the counter top is 5.02\ m^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the Counter top = 18 feet

Width of the counter top = 3 feet

We need to find the area of the counter top is square meter;

Solution:

Now we need to find the area of the counter top is square meter.

But given data is in feet so we will first convert feet into meters.

1 foot = 0.305 meter.

So 18 feet = Number of meters in 18 feet.

By Using Unitary method we get;

Number of meters in 18 feet = 18\times 0.305 = 5.49\ m

Length of the Counter top = 5.49 m

Also 3 feet = Number of meters in 3 feet.

Again Using Unitary method we get;

Number of meters in 3 feet = 3\times 0.305 = 0.915\ m

Width of the counter top = 0.915 m

Now we know that;

Area of the counter top can be calculated by multiplying Length of the counter top with width of the counter top.

framing in equation form we get;

Area of the counter top = 5.49\times 0.915 = 5.0233\ m^2

Rounding up to 2 decimals we get;

Area of the counter top =  5.02\ m^2

Hence Area of the counter top is 5.02\ m^2.

Solve for x. Enter the solutions from least to greatest. (x−1)^2−9=0
Leno4ka [110]

Step-by-step explanation:

(x−1)²−9=0

(x-1)²= 9

x-1 = ±√9

x-1 = ±3

x = 1-3=-2 or x=1+3=4

the solution = {-2,4}
