Answer: width = 10 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = length × width
Let l be length and w be width
l = w + 4 ........equation (1)
From above formula
140 = l × w. ........equation (2)
Substitute equation (1) into equation (2)
140 = (w+4) × w
w^2 + 4w= 140
w^2 + 4w - 140= 0
By factorization method
(w+14)(w-10)= 0
w=-14 or w= 10
So now width is 10 ft
From equation(1)
l=w+4
l= 10+4
l= 14 ft
Width = 10 ft and length = 14 ft
Answer: a). 5
Explanation:
5 > 4
What this question simply asks about is you write the numbers it gave you in only one digit by 10 to the power of n. Where n represents the number of shifts of the decimal point.
And to get this number to be one digit, then you have to approximate.
To approximate; you should always consider that less than 5 counts zero and 5 or more counts+1.
Example:
5.3 is approximately 5
5.5 is approx. 6
5.9 is also approx. 6
and so on.
So the final answers are;
1) 4*10^13
2) 5*10^-11
Please note that 10^positive integer will cause the decimal point to move to the right which means a number greater than 1, usually, while 10^negative integer means number smaller than 1, usually.
Hope this helps.
