Given:
plot of land doubles in size.
original plot area 200 by 300 meters

Area = 200m * 300m
A = 60,000 m²  original plot area

60,000m
² x 2 = 120,000 m²

(200m + x)(300m + x) = 120,000 m²

60,000m² + 200m*x + 300m * x + x² = 120,000 m²

x² + 500x + 60,000 = 120,000
x² + 500x + 60,000 - 120,000 = 0
x² + 500x - 60,000 = 0

x = -b <u>+</u> (√b² - 4ac)/2a 

a = 1 ; b = 500 ; c = -60,000

x = -500 + (√500² - 4(1)(-60,000)) / 2(1)
x = (-500 + (√250,000 + 240,000)) / 2 
x = (-500 + 700)/ 2
x = 200 / 2
x = 100 meters

(200 + x)(300 + x) = 120,000
(200 + 100)(300 + 100) = 120,000
300 * 400 = 120,000
120,000 = 120,000

A tube is being stretched while maintaining its cylindrical shape. The height is increasing at the rate of 2 millimeters per sec
hoa [83]

Answer:

V = πr²h

S=2πrh

h= 2/3 millimeters

new height= 8/3 millimeters

S= 8π  millimeters square

New surface area = 32π  millimeters square

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the cylinder is given by V = πr²h   where r is the radius and h is the height.

The surface area of the cylinder is given by  S= 2πrh + 2πr²

Where πr² gives the area of the base and 2πr² gives the area of the top and bottom surfaces. The surface area S of a cylinder, not including the top and bottom of the cylinder, is therefore S=2πrh.

V = πr²h

96π= π (6*6) (h+2)

96 = 36 (h+2)

96/36= h+2

h= 96/36-2

h= 96-72/36

h= 24/36

h= 4/6

h= 2/3 millimeters

New height

h + 2= 2/3 + 2

= 2+6/3= 8/3 millimeters

Now S =2πrh

S = 2π(6) (2/3)

S= 8π  millimeters square

New Surface area

S = 2π(6) (8/3)

S= 32π  millimeters square
