Answer:

let the breadth of room be 'x'm

so the lenghth of room is 'x+8'm

Given

Area of room=48m²

i.e length ×breadth =48m²

or,(x+8)x=48

or,x²+8x-48=0

or,x²+12x-4x-48=0

or,x(x+12)-4(x+12)=0

or,(x+12)(x-4)=0

Either x+12=0

or,x=-12(which is not possible)

Or,x-4=0

or,x=4

Thus,breadth is 4m.

length=x+8=4+8=12m

The dimensions of room are 8m and 12m respectively.

Maksim231197 [3]

Using the percentage concept, it is found that 60% of the students voted to donate a telescope.

<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>

The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:

P = \frac{a}{b} \times 100\%

In this problem:

  • The total amount is the number of students, which is of b = 500.
  • 300 voted to donate, hence a = 300.

The <em>percentage </em>is given by:

P = \frac{300}{500} \times 100\% = 60\%

60% of the students voted to donate a telescope.
