6/8 because 3/4*2=6/8
hope this helps
Answer:
4 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can consider the orignial square's sides to be x, so area of the original figure: 
The new rectangle's sides will be x and x+8, so the area of the new figure will be x^2+8x.
We know that the new area is 3 times the old one. So our equation will be:
x^2+8x=3x^2
our answer will be x=4.
Therfore, the length of the side of the old flower bed is 4 ft.
Answer:
I think the answer is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm just going by how it looks but I am pretty sure that <em>n</em> is -0.5 and <em>m</em> is 2.5. Therefore, if you add -0.5 + 2.5 it equals 2.0.
We are give the equation of the perimeter of the triangle as follows:
2a + b = 15.7
where b represents the base.
Now, if we want to calculate the length of the base, all we have to do is isolate the b in one side of the equation as follows:
b = 15.7 - 2a
We know that a = 6.3 cm, therefore, the length of the base can be calculated as follows:
b = 15.7 - 2(6.3) = 3.1 cm
