Solve by completing the square: x^2+15=8x

1 answer:

3 0

<span>x^2+15=8x
</span><span>x^2-8x=-15
x^2 - 2 (x)(4) =-15
adding 16 on both sides
</span>x^2 - 2 (x)(4) +16=-15+16
x^2 - 2 (x)(4) + 4^2= 1

(x-4)^2=1

taking square root on bothsides x-4 = +-1
so x-4=1 or x-4=-1
x-5 or x=3

You are buying lawn seed for the the football field a 10 pound bag of lawn seed covers 2000 square feet.

Masja [62]

A football field is 120 yards long (100 yards playing field plus 2 end zones 10 yards each) by 53 1/3 yards wide.

1 yard = 3 feet.

120 yards x 3 feet per yard = 360 feet

53 1/3 yards x 3 = 160 feet.

The area of the football fields is 360 x 160 = 57,600 square feet.

1 bag covers 2000 square feet:

57,600 / 2,000 = 28.8 bags, round up to 29 bags are needed.

1 bag cost $27.79.

29 bags x $27.79 = $805.91 total cost.

Mr. Suárez wants to paint his storage shed. He needs to calculate the lateral surface area of the shed so that he will know how

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Lateral surface area of the storage shed = 336 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture is the complete question.

The shed is in the shape of a rectangular prism. The lateral surface area of the storage shed can be calculated below. The lateral area is the sides of the prism.

lateral area of a rectangular prism = 2h (l + w)

where

l = length

h = height

w = width

h = 8 ft

l = 14 ft

w = 7 ft

lateral area of a rectangular prism = 2h (l + w)

lateral area of a rectangular prism = 2 × 8 × (14 + 7)

lateral area of a rectangular prism = 16 (21)

lateral area of a rectangular prism = 336 ft²

Lateral surface area of the storage shed = 336 ft²
