Answer: The answer is 720
Step-by-step explanation: I started off by guessing a random number, i picked 10. So i multiplied 12x10 and i got 120. I added 120 with 120 until i got something close enough (720.) I got it right on the test as well- :)
One piece cause half of 8 is 4 and there is 3 people
the number 2 is a factor of all even numbers (b)
Answer:
39 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
As it's a regular hexagon all sides are congruent.
Therefore
7x + 4 = 8x - 1
4 + 1 = 8x - 7x
x = 5.
So the required length is 7(5) + 4 = 39 in.
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Sides of the garden</u>
<u>New dimensions of the garden</u>
<u>1. The area of the new garden</u>
- (16 + 2x)(8 + x) =
- 2x^2 + 32x + 128
<u>2. The difference in area </u>
- 2x^2 + 32x + 128 - 16*8 =
- 2x^2 + 32x
<u>3. x= 2 effect on the area</u>
- 2*2^2 + 32*2 =
- 8 + 64 =
- 72 ft²
<u>4. Area difference = 160</u>
- 2x^2 + 32x = 160
- x^2 + 16x - 80 = 0
- Solving we get positive root of 4 ft
<u>5. Area difference = 4 times</u>
- 2x^2 + 32x = 128*3
- 2x^2 + 32x - 384 = 0
- x^2 + 16x - 192= 0
- Solving we get positive root of 8 ft
