The initial dimenssions of the park lot are:
length: 140 ft
width: 90 ft
initial area: 140 * 90 = 12,600 ft^2
Area increased 29% = 12,600 * 1.29 = 16,254 ft^2
width of the strips: x
New length: 140 + x
New width: 90 + x
New area: (140+x)(90+x) = 16,254
Solution of the equation:
12600 + 230x + x^2 = 16254
=> x^2 + 230x - 3654 = 0
Use the quadratic formula.
x = {-230 +/- √[ 230^2 - 4*1*(-3654) ]} / 2 =
x = 14.92
The other solution is negative so it is discarded.
Answer: 15 ft
Answer:
∑ₙ₌₁⁸ (3n − 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an arithmetic series where the first term is -6 and the common difference is 3. The nth term can be written as:
aₙ = a₁ + d (n − 1)
aₙ = -6 + 3 (n − 1)
There are 8 terms in this series, so the sum is:
∑ₙ₌₁⁸ [-6 + 3 (n − 1)]
Simplified:
∑ₙ₌₁⁸ (3n − 9)
Because the fraction is 7/8,
convert 6 into 8ths.
There are 8/8 to 1, so 6 would equal 6*8 = 48/8
Now add 48/8 to 7/8 to get 55/8
