The answer would be 14 because 14 times 14 = 196. Square roots are numbers that can multiply itself to equal a number.

Well,

$14^{2} = 196$

Therefore, the <em>positive </em>square root of 196 is 14.

The <em>negative</em> square root of 196 is -14, as every number has both a positive and negative square root.

It takes 24 hours to fill a large pool with two hoses, where the water in one hose flows four times as fast as the other hose.

4.8 h
Say the slow hose flows x
The fast hose flows 4x
5x = 24
x = 4.8

A school is planning to construct two rectangular play areas in the playground. The length of play area A must be 1 foot longer

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

А.The system has two solutions, but only one is viable because the other results in a negative width.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let:

$L_A \to$ length of play area A

$W_A \to$ width of play area A

$L_B \to$ length of play area B

$W_B \to$ width of play area B

$x \to$ Area of A

$y \to$ Area of B

From the question, we have the following:

$L_A = 1 + 4W_A$

$W_B = 2 + W_A$

$L_B = 2 + 3W_B$

$x = y$

The area of A is:

$x = L_A * W_A$

This gives:

$x = (1 + 4W_A) * W_A$

Open bracket

$x = W_A + 4W_A^2$

The area of B is:

$y = L_B * W_B$

$y = (2 + 3W_B) * ( 2 + W_A)$

Substitute: $W_B = 2 + W_A$

$y = (2 + 3(2 + W_A)) * ( 2 + W_A)$

Open brackets

$y = (2 + 6 + 3W_A) * ( 2 + W_A)$

$y = (8 + 3W_A) * ( 2 + W_A)$

Expand

$y = 16 + 8W_A + 6W_A + 3W_A^2$

$y = 16 + 14W_A + 3W_A^2$

We have that:

$x = y$

This gives:

$W_A + 4W_A^2 = 16 + 14W_A + 3W_A^2$

Collect like terms

$4W_A^2 - 3W_A^2 + W_A -14W_A - 16 =0$

$W_A^2 -13W_A - 16 =0$

Using quadratic calculator, we have:

$W_A = -14.1$ or $W = 1.13$ --- approximated

But the width can not be negative; So:

$W = 1.19$

3. In a game, if you roll a 6 on a 6-sided number cube, you lose a turn.

dlinn [17]

Part A: The probability is 1/6. This is because there are six options in total, and only one of those options is 6.

Part B: The probability is 6/6, or alternatively 100%. This is because that the probability of rolling a 6 is 1/6, and the probability of rolling any of the other options is 5/6. Adding them together gives a probability of 6/6.

Part C: The probability is 5/6. This is because there are six options, and of those, five of them are not 6.
