1. The formula for calculate the area of a rectangle, is:
 
 A=LxW
 
 A is the area of the rectangle
 L is the length of the rectangle.
 W is the widht of the rectangle

2. You have that:
 
 -The<span> rectangular Corn Hole area has a width of 5 feet and a length of 10 feet, so:
 
 L1=10 feet
 W1=5 feet
 
 - When</span> a uniform amount is added to each side (x), the area is increased to 84 feet². Then, you have a different length (L2) and a different width (W2):
 
 3. The new length is:<span> 
 
 L2=L1+x+x
 L2=L1+2x
 L2=10+2x
 
 4. The new width is:
 
 W2=W1+x+x
 W2=W1+2x
 W2=5+2x
 
 5. The new area is:
 
 A2=84 feet</span>²<span>
 
 6. Then, you have:
 
 A=LxW
 84</span>=(10+2x)(<span>5+2x)
 
 7. When you apply the distributive property, you obtain a quadratic equation:
 
 4x</span>²+30x-34=0
<span> 
 8. You can solve with by applyin the quadratic formula: 
 
 x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a
 
 a=4
 b=30
 c=-34
 
 9. Then, the answer is:
 
 x=1 feet

Answer:

I can't believe this guy above me has a verified answer and it is wrong.... anyway the true answer to this is 2. I checked it myself when I put 1 as the answer and got this question wrong, and it showed me the correct answer is 2 so don't believe the verified answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Review Question #7:

The answer to this question is 2ft, not 1ft.

This is because:

So the width of the second rectangle can be represented by 10+2x, and the length of the second rectangle can be represented by 5+2x. Lets make 2x equal y to make things easier though. Because the product of both 10+2x and 5+2x is 84 square feet, we must multiply the two equations together first.

(10+y)(5+y)=84

This then equals:

50+10y+5y+y^2=84

Then add the like terms:

y^2+15y+50=84

Then set the equation to zero by subtracting 84 from both sides:

y^2+15y-34=0

From that, you can use the box method, or any method to get:

(y+17)=0 and (y-2)=0

Which would then simplify to:

y=-17 and y=2

However, we substituted y for 2x, so plug 2x into y:

2x=-17 and 2x=2

Then simplify from here:

x=-17/2 and x=1

The answer cannot be negative, so that means the answer is x=1, however, even though this is true, the answer is that 2ft was added to EACH SIDE, because the question was asking for what amount was added to each side.

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Lucy reads 10 fewer pages that Carey

Step-by-step explanation:

The first sentence reads as Carey having more, so Lucy has fewer,

Rewriting it using fewer means that Lucy will be the main subject of the sentence, so Lucy reads 10 fewer pages that Carey is the sentence you want

HELP! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! DO NOT TAKE ANSWERS OFF ONLINE, THEY ARE WRONG!!!! The following is an incomplete paragraph proving
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: AB\parallel DCAB∥DC and BC\parallel ADBC∥AD .

Draw a diagonal AC.

In triangle BCA and DAC,

AC\cong ACAC≅AC (Reflexive Property of Equality)

\angle BAC\cong \angle DCA∠BAC≅∠DCA ( Alternate Interior Angles Theorem)

\angle BCA\cong \angle DAC∠BCA≅∠DAC ( Alternate Interior Angles Theorem)

The ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) postulate states that two triangles are congruent if two corresponding angles and the included side of are congruent.

By ASA postulate,

\triangle BCA\cong \triangle DAC△BCA≅△DAC

Therefore option B is correct
