Answer:
332 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangular garden measures 33 ft by 46 ft. Surrounding (and bordering) the garden is a path 2 ft. Find the area of this path. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.
Solution:
The area of the rectangular garden = length * breadth = 33 ft. * 46 ft. = 1518 ft²
Since the path surrounding the garden is 2ft, the length of the path with the garden = 46 + 2 + 2 = 50 ft
The width of the path with the garden = 33 + 2 + 2 = 37 ft.
Area of the path with the garden = length * breadth = 50 ft * 37 ft = 1850 ft².
Area of the path = 1850 ft² - 1518 ft.² = 332 ft²
-5.8 - (-8.4)
When we multiply two negatives they become a positive. In this situation, where there is no other number, you can assume there's basically a 1 in that place.
-5.8 - 1(-8.4) would be just as correct. (If this helps visually clarify anything.)
So we take that -1 and multiply it by that -8.4. Multiplying 1 against anything leaves it the same, so we just need to change the sign. Two negatives make a positive.
-5.8 + 8.4
Now we add these together.
This gives us our final answer of 2.6
M/n=p-6
n= m/(p-6)
i swapped the n and p-6
