<h3>Answer:   4w^2+190w</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

Check out the attached image below. Specifically, take a look at figure 1. We start with a rectangle which is 70 meters by 25 meters. Then we extend this rectangle out by adding two copies of w to each dimension having the larger rectangle be (70+2w) meters by (25+2w) meters.

The original smaller rectangle has area of 70*25 = 1750 square meters.

The new larger rectangle area is a bit more tricky to figure out, though its not too bad once you get the hang of it. You could use the FOIL rule to get

(70+2w)(25+2w) = 70*25+70*2w+2w*25+2w*2w

(70+2w)(25+2w) = 1750+140w+50w+4w^2

(70+2w)(25+2w) = 1750+190w+4w^2

(70+2w)(25+2w) = 4w^2+190w+1750

Or you could use the box method shown in figure 2.

The idea is to write the terms of (70+2w) and (25+2w) along the edges of the box. Then filling out the 4 inner boxes involves multiplying the outer terms. Example: row1,column2 has 50w inside it because we multiply the outer terms 25 and 2w to get 25*2w = 50w. The other boxes are filled out in a similar fashion.

Although the FOIL rule is handy and taught in a lot of math books/classes, I prefer the box method because the box method can be extended to other cases (not just multiplying two binomials).

Whichever method you use, the larger rectangle has area 4w^2+190w+1750 square meters.

-------------------------------

So,

A = area of larger rectangle = 4w^2+190w+1750

B = area of smaller rectangle = 1750

C = difference in areas of A and B

C = A - B

C = ( A ) - ( B )

C = ( 4w^2+190w+1750 ) - ( 1750 )

C = 4w^2+190w+1750-1750

C = 4w^2+190w

This represents the area of just the tile border alone. We started with the larger rectangle and took out the smaller rectangle inside to only have the border left over.

-------------------------------

If you want, you can factor out a 'w' to get

4w^2+190w = w(4w+190)

Though this may be optional.

The perimeter of a regular hexagon is 6x + 30. What is the length<br> of each side of the hexagon?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is actually rather simple to figure out. Simply divide 6x + 30 by 6. That should get x + 5 for the length of one side.

Assume the total cost of a college education will be $235,000 when your child enters college in 18 years. You presently have $53
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

A = $235,000

P = $53,000

n = 1 because it was compounded once in a year.

t = 18 years

Therefore,.

235000 = 53000(1 + r/1)^1 × 18

235000/53000 = (1 + r)^18

4.43 = (1 + r)^18

Raising both sides to the power of 1/18, it becomes

4.43^(1/18) = (1 + r)^18 × 1/18

1.086 = 1 + r

r = 1.086 - 1

r = 0.086

r = 0.086 × 100 = 8.6%
