Answer: 20 feet by 20 feet.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that x is the original measure of one side. Since it is a square, all its sides are equal.

2. Therefore, to solve the problem you only need to solve for x, as you can see below:

- You have that:

(a-b)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2}

- Then, you obtain the following quadratic equation:

(x-8)^{2} =144\\x^{2}-2(x)(8)+8^{2}=144\\x^{2}-16x-80=0

- Apply the Quadratic formula to solve it:

x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\\a=1\\b=-16\\c=-80

- Then, you obtain:

x_1=20\\x_2=-4

3. The dimensions cannot be negative, therefore, the answer is: 20 feet by 20 feet.

if you had a block of each type of wood with the same dimensions,how would their weights compare?explain?
inysia [295]
For this case we have the following equation:
 Density = mass / volume
 If the volume is the same, then the object with the greatest weight will be the one with the highest density.
 You must know the type of way to know the value of the density.
 Answer:
 
The weight of the blocks will depend on the density if the volume is the same.

Answer:

24 ft cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is denoted by the formula: V=lwh , where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

Looking at the diagram, we can see that the length is 2 ft (so l = 2), the width is 4 ft (so w = 4), and the height is 3 ft (so h = 3). Now, we can just plug in these values to find V, the volume:

V=lwh

V=2*4*3=24

Thus, the answer is 24 ft cubed.

Hope this helps!

1st question: Reuben received 80 dollars. Write a signed number to represent this change.
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

1) +80

2) -1520

Step-by-step explanation:

Positive Signed numbers are used in real world situations to indicate the increase. Examples include; increase in weight, deposit of money into an account, increase in income, profit, height above sea level, etc. They are all represented by positive signed numbers.

Whereas, negative signed numbers show decrease. Examples include; loss of weight, withdrawal of money from an account, loans, liabilities, losses, temperature below zero degrees, height below sea level.

1) We are told that Reuben received 80 dollars. Thus, it means he received an increase in the amount of money he already had. Thus, the signed number will be +80.

2) We are told that A car corporation produced 1520 fewer cars this month than last.

Thus, the signed number will be negative since there is a decrease in number of cars.

Thus, signed number = -1520
