Answer:

Area of rectangle (A) is given by:

A = lw

where, l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.

As per the statement:

The area of a room is 396 square feet.

The length is (x + 8) feet and the width is (x + 4) feet.

⇒A = 396 square feet , l = (x+8) feet and w = (x+4) feet

Substitute these given values we have;

396 = (x+8)(x+4)

⇒396 = x^2+4x+8x+32

Combine like terms;

⇒396 = x^2+12x+32

Subtract 32 from both sides we have;

364 = x^2+12x

or

x^2+12x-364 =0

⇒x^2+26x-14x-364 = 0

⇒x(x+26)-14(x+26)=0

⇒(x+26)(x-14) = 0

By zero product property we have;

x+26 = 0 or x-14 = 0

⇒x = -26 and x = 14

Since, side cannot be in negative.

⇒x = 14

then;

l = x+8 = 14+8 = 22 feet

w = x+4 = 14+4 = 18 feet

Therefore, the dimensions of the room are:

l = 22 feet and w = 18 feet

Answer:

HI ≈ 12.22

Step-by-step explanation:

tan I = GH / HI

tan 42° = 11 / HI = 0.90

a 34 gram sample of a substance that's used to treat thyroid disorders has a k-value of 0.137. find the substance's half-life, i
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

5.1 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question,

initial amount of substance = 34 grams

k-value = 0.137

To find the half life of this substance we will use following formula

N(0)/2 = N(0)e^{-kt}

here N(0) is initial amount of substance

        t is time in days

Plug values in the formula

34 /2 = 34e^{-0.137t}

1/2 = e^{-0.137t}

Take logarithm on both sides

ln(1/2) = ln( e^{-0.137t})

ln(1/2) = -0.137t

t = ln(1/2) / -0.137

t = 5.059

t ≈ 5.1 days (nearest to tenths)

The ratio of length to width would change slightly, before adding on to the dimensions, the ratio is 6 : 2.5    with the added dimensions, the ratio would change to 8 : 4.5    with simple math you can see that 2.5 is less then half of 6 while 4.5 is more then half of 8
