The answer to the question
** Calculation is based on 52 weeks per year.

Your employer is paying 75% of the Premium:

Amount you need to pay:

Amount needed to be deducted weekly from paycheck:

Answer:
l = 24ft
Step-by-step explanation:
A = lw
360 = (x + 9)(x)
360 = x^2 + 9x
0 = x^2 + 9x - 360
0 = (x + 24)(x - 15)
x ≠ -24 (length cannot be negative)
x = 15
l = 15 + 9
l = 24ft
I'm assuming you meant to write a^4 = 625.
If that is the case, then note how 625 = 25^2, and how a^4 is the same as (a^2)^2
So we go from this
a^4 = 625
to this
(a^2)^2 = 25^2
Apply the square root to both sides and you'll end up with: a^2 = 25
From here, apply the square root again to end up with the final answer: a = 5 or a = -5
As a check:
a^4 = (-5)^4 = (-5)*(-5)*(-5)*(-5) = 25*25 = 625
a^4 = (5)^4 = (5)*(5)*(5)*(5) = 25*25 = 625
Both values of 'a' work out
