The base is x.
The height is 5 feet more than the base, so it's x+5.
The area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and its height. The area is 204 square feet.

x(x+5)=204 \\
x^2+5x=204 \\
x^2+5x-204=0 \\
x^2+17x-12x-204=0 \\
x(x+17)-12(x+17)=0 \\
(x-12)(x+17)=0 \\
x-12=0 \ \lor \ x+17=0 \\
x=12 \ \lor \ x=-17

The length of the base of a parallelogram must be a positive number, so x=12.

\hbox{the base:} \\ x=12 \\ \\
\hbox{the height:} \\ x+5=12+5=17

The base is 12 feet long, the height is 17 feet long.

we know that

1) Lily swims a 100-meter race

2) She swims the first half in 27.8 seconds

3) She swims the second half in 30.12 seconds

so

To find the total time to swim the whole race sum the time in the first half plus the time in second half

(27.8+30.12)=57.92\ seconds

therefore

57.92\ seconds

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

220 automóviles

Step-by-step explanation:

Aquí, queremos saber la cantidad de autos que ingresarán al garaje cuando esté completamente ocupado.

De la pregunta, nos dicen que hay 3 pisos. Para el 1er piso, hay 5 filas de 20 lugares.

El número total de autos que pueden estar en esto será 5 * 20 = 100 autos.

Para el segundo y tercer piso, tenemos 4 filas de 15 cada una.

El número total de autos aquí será 2 (15 * 4) = 2 * 60 = 120 autos

El número total de automóviles cuando está completamente ocupado es, por tanto, = 100 + 120 = 220 automóviles
