A field measuring 12 meters by 16 meters is to have a brick paver walkway installed all around it, increasing the total area to
kolezko [41]

Answer:

1.5 m

Explanation:

Length. L = 12 m

Width, W = 16 m

Area, A = 12 x 16 = 192 m^2

Let the width of pavement be d.

The new length, L' = 12 + 2d

the new width, W' = 16 + 2d  

New Area, A' = L' x W' = (12 + 2d)(16 + 2d) = 192 + 56 d + 4d^2

Difference in area = A' - A

285 =  192 + 56 d + 4d^2 - 192

93 =  56 d + 4d^2

4d^2 + 56 d - 93 = 0

d = \frac{-56\pm \sqrt{56^{2}+4\times 4\times 93}}{8}

d=\frac{-56\pm 87.72}{8}\

d = 1.5 m

Thus, the width of the pavement is 1.5 m.

1. Water boils at 100°C at sea level. If the water in this experiment did not boil at 100°C, what could be the reason?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

It may not be at the sea level

Explanation:

The reason here is water only boils at sea level. This means that if you move water to a different height, say top of a mountain, the boiling temperature of water would change. This is due to the pressure drop at high place. The drop of pressure would make it harder to transform water liquid to gas, thus requiring more temperature.

What is acceleration measured in?
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Calculating acceleration involves dividing velocity by time — or in terms of units, dividing meters per second [m/s] by second [s]. Dividing distance by time twice is the same as dividing distance by the square of time. Thus the SI unit of acceleration is the meter per second squared.





This I what it showed when I looked it up so if your writing this down try and put some in your own words
