SF=3

a=area

a of small rectangle=8 m^2

a of large rectangle= x m^2

small--->large

small*SF=large

8*3=24

Thus, the area of the larger rectangle is 24 m^2

The general formula for a equation of the form:

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

is:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

In this case we notice that a=1, b=-4 and c=3. Plugging this values in the general formula we get:

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-(-4)\pm\sqrt[]{(-4)^2-4(1)(3)}}{2(1)} \\ =\frac{4\pm\sqrt[]{16-12}}{2} \\ =\frac{4\pm\sqrt[]{4}}{2} \\ =\frac{4\pm2}{2} \end{gathered}$

then:

$x_1=\frac{4+2}{2}=\frac{6}{2}=3$

and

$x_2=\frac{4-2}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1$

Therefore, x=3 or x=1.

a tank can hold up to 500 gallons of water.A gauge reading shows that it is at 80% of its capacity. How many more gallons can it

Paha777 [63]

So we start out by finding out what 80% of 500 is by,

500 * .80 = 400

So if 80% is 400 that means that there is still space available for 100 more gallons!

How the heck did we know that?!?

simple 500- 400= 100

So that leaves us knowing that there are 100 gallons left that can be held!! :)

So your answer is 100 gallons!!

I hope that this helped!
