Answer:
C. 3.4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let, the amount of increase be 'x' feet.
As, the length and width of the garden are 20 ft and 12 ft respectively.
It is given that the area of the new garden is 360 ft²
Since, the length and width are increased by 'x'.
The new length and width are (x+20) ft and (x+12) ft respectively.
So, we get,
New area, 
= length × breadth = (x+20) × (x+12)
i.e. 360 = 
i.e. 
i.e. (x+35.4)(x-3.4)=0
i.e. x = -35.4 and x= 3.4
Since, the value of x cannot be negative.
Thus, x = 3.4 feet.
Unfortunately you have not included the directions. Are you supposed to solve for x? or for y?
Suppose the directions say, "Solve for x." Then, clear out the decimal fraction by mult. both sides of the given equation by 10. This will give you the solution, that is, a formula for x in terms of y.
1. Angle PAB is 90 degrees, as it is formed from the tanget to the circle at A, and the radius drawn to A.
2. AB=BC, because tangents drawn to a circle from the same point are equal.
3. PB is Common, so by the side-side-side congruence postulate, triangles ABP and CBP are congruent.
4. So measure of m(BPA)=x/2 and m(ABP)=73/2.
5.
, x= 107 degrees.
