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.

Mr. Lloyd wants to build a dollhouse for a starter this is a proportional to their house he might have to live in this house and
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

12’ x 16’ = 6 in * 8 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Allow me to revise your question for a better understanding.

<em>Mr. avoid wants to build a doll house for his daughter that is proportional to their house you measure the living room of his house and it was 12’ x 16’ what will the dimensions of the doll house living room if every foot of the actual house equals 1/2 inch in the doll house </em>

My answer:

Given:  

The living room of his house  was 12’ x 16’ and this is the actual house

The dimensions of the doll house living room if every foot of the actual house equals 1/2 inch is:

<=> 1 foot = 1/2 inch

=> the dimensions of the doll house living room is:

12’ x 16’ = 6 inch * 8 inch

(a) Complete the ratio table shown. Show your work.
ella [17]
      I = Prnwhere I is the interest, P is the principal, r is the decimal equivalent of the given rate, and n  is the number of years. In this item, we assume that n is equal to 1. Solving for the interests,                $200:     I = ($200)(0.03)(1) = $6                $150:     I = ($150)(0.03)(1) = $4.5The difference between the two calculated interests is $1.5. 
Therefore, you could have earned $1.5 more if you invested $200 rather than $150.

Thee vertex of a parabola is (-5,2), and its focus is (-1,2). What is the standard form of the parabola?​
Alla [95]

Check the picture below.  So the parabola looks more or less like so.

\bf \textit{horizontal parabola vertex form with focus point distance} \\\\ 4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2 \qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\qquad \stackrel{focus~point}{(h+p,k)}\qquad \stackrel{directrix}{x=h-p}\\\\ p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\ \qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}\\\\ \stackrel{"p"~is~negative}{op ens~\supset}\qquad \stackrel{"p"~is~positive}{op ens~\subset} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \begin{cases} h=-5\\ k=2\\ p=4 \end{cases}\implies 4(4)[x-(-5)]=[y-2]^2\implies 16(x+5)=(y-2)^2 \\\\\\ x+5=\cfrac{1}{16}(y-2)^2\implies x = \cfrac{1}{16}(y-2)^2-5
