Mathematical models are helpful. Advantages include helping you see the data clearer and helping you visualize. Disadvantages are: time consuming, and if you make a mistake on the graph, its going to hit the entre thing.
Let's first say that L=W+44
and then remember that perimeter is P=2L+2W
replace the L with W+44
we then get P=2(W+44)+2W, now I'll solve it
P=2W+88+2W
P=4W+88
substitute 288 for P
288=4W+88
200=4W
50=W
so now we now how wide the court is. add 44 to find the length which gives you L=94
as always plug the numbers back into your perimeter equation to ensure L and W are correct
Given the center 
and the radius 
of a circle, its equation is
In your case, the center is (-4,0), and the radius is 2. Plug these values into the generic formula and you'll get the equation.

Answer:</h3>
<u>It squares the amount you scaled it by.</u>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
For example, imagine that you had 2 by 2 square, and then you put it through a scale factor of 2.
Now each side length would be double of what it once was.
But when you multiply the new lengths together, the area would be of 4 times more.
(Original Equation) 2 * 2 = 4
(Scale Factor of 2) 4 * 4 = 16
So when the scale factor is made, the area would be squared to the multiple that you scaled it by.
<em>***A square root is a number times itself.</em>
<em>(eg): 3 * 3 = </em><em>9</em>
<em> 15 * 15 = </em><em>225</em>
<em>9 and 225 would be the square root in these problems.</em>
You can not solve for a as all of the numbers are unknown
