A 50% increase is just taking the original amount and adding half of that towards the amount.

Example : 50% of 100 is 50 so a 50% increase to 100 would be 150

a formula for this would be X + (1/2×X) = Y

in your case we're working backwards with the known being 60

We can just plug in reasonable values for X until we get 60

50% of 40 is 20

40 + 20 = 60

so the original amount was 40

The Rectangular prism in the top-left corner is 11,760. The top-middle rectangular prism is 7,938. The top-right rectangular prism is 4,851. The shape that is orange and pink I don't know what it is.

Answer:

Length of rectangle = 16 cm

Width of rectangle = 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of rectangle = 64 cm²

Find:

Length and width

Computation:

Assume;

Length of rectangle = a

So,

Width of rectangle = a -12

Area of rectangle = l x b

So,

a(a-12) = 64

a² - 12a - 64 = 0

a² - (16-4)a - 64 = 0

a² - 16a+ 4a - 64 = 0

a (a-16) + 4(a-16)= 0

(a-16)(a+4) = 0

a= 16 , a = -4

So,

Length of rectangle = 16 cm

Width of rectangle = a -12

Width of rectangle = 16 -12

Width of rectangle = 4 cm

A square room has a tiled floor with 81 square tiles. How many tiles are along an edge of the room?
Strike441 [17]
As there are 81 tiles total, that makes your area 81. Being a square, that makes your area equation A=s^2. As you need a side, this makes your equation s=√A. Plugging in 81 as A, we get s=√81=9, so an edge has 9 tiles.
