Answer:
The distance added to each dimension is 2 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial dimensions of the rectangular fence is 8 yards by 4 yards.
The initial area of the rectangular fence = area of a rectangle
area of a rectangle = length x width
So that,
The initial area of the fence = 8 x 4
= 32
The initial area of the fence is 32 square yards.
But, with the new dimensions, area = 60 square yards.
(4 + x) x (8 + x) = 60
+ 12x + 28 = 60
+ 12x - 32 = 0
(x + 14) = 0 or (x - 2) = 0
x = -14 or x =2
Thus, x = 2
The distance added to each dimension is 2 yards.
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
3 and -3
They are both the same distance from zero (definition of absolution value)
The answer which we found by inspection is
B. f(x) = -1/2x + 3
Using proportions, it is found that the correct statement is:
D. The number of visitors who prefer camping will be 2 times the number of visitors who prefer water sports.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.
In this problem, the table is from a sample of 80 visitors.
Since the <u>proportions stay the same</u>, just the number of visitors change, the correct statement is given by:
D. The number of visitors who prefer camping will be 2 times the number of visitors who prefer water sports.
As from the 80 students, 28 prefer camping and 14 prefer water sports, hence from 200, these numbers will be of 70 and 35 respectively.
