The width of border is 1.5 feet
<h3><u>
Solution:</u></h3>
Given that small garden measures 9 ft by 13 ft
A uniform border around the garden increases the total area to 192 ft square
To find: width of border
Let the width of border be "x"
Then the new measures of garden are (9 + 2x) feet and (13 + 2x) feet
The total area of garden = 192 square feet
<em><u>Let us solve the above equation by quadratic formula</u></em>
Using the above formula,
For , we have a = 4 ; b = 44 ; c = -75
Substituting the values of a = 4 ; b = 44 ; c = -75 in above quadratic formula we get,
Since "x" cannot be negative,
we get x = 1.5
Thus width of border is 1.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
For 1st question
In a parm ABCD
5x - 4 = 16 ( being opposite sides of parallelogram)
5x = 16 + 4
5x = 20
x = 20 / 5
x = 4
3y + 1 = 22 (being opposite sides of parallelogram)
3y = 22 -1
3y = 21
y = 21 / 3
y = 7
For second question
In parm PQRS
Diagonals bisect each other so
x + 4 = 12
x = 12 - 4
x = 8
x + y = 32
8 + y = 32
y = 32 - 8
y = 24

Answer:
She will use 13 quarter cups of oatmeal
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/4 = 13/4
x/4 = 13/4
4(x/4) = 4(13/4)
x = 13
