A carpenter is assigned the job of expanding a rectangular deck where the width is one-fourth the length. the length of the deck

is to be expanded by 10 feet, and the width by 6 feet. if the area of the new rectangular deck is 128 ft2 larger than the area of the original deck, find the dimensions of the original deck

Alright, lets get started.

Suppose the original deck size: width = x feet

the width is one-fourth the length given in question means length = 4 x feet

Means the originally area = x * 4 x = 4 x^{2}

Now the dimensions are changed.

New dimensions, width = (x + 6)

new length = (4x+10)

So, new area will be = (x+6) * (4x+10) = 4x^{2} + 10 x + 24 x + 60 = 4x^{2} + 34 x + 60

the area of the new rectangular deck is 128 ft2 larger than the area of the original deck, means

4x^{2} + 128= 4x^{2} + 34 x + 60

Subtracting 4x^{2} from both sides

128 = 34 x + 60

Subtracting 60 from both sides

128 - 60 = 34 x + 60 - 60

68 = 34  x

Dividing 34 in both sides

\frac{68}{34}  = \frac{34 x }{34}

x = 2

Means width = 2 feet

Length would be = 4 time width = 4 * 2 = 8 feet

Means dimension of original deck would be = 2 feet and 8 feet :Answer

Hope it will help :)

Answer: D.

Step-by-step explanation: First you find the common factor, which is 5x³y. Then you write in parenthesis what's left over from each term. So  the answer should look like: 5x³y(-3x⁵-4z+9).

Suppose the height of an 18 year old boy is normally distributed with mean 187cm fifteen percent of 18 year old boys have height
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

the probability that two 18 year old boys chosen at random will have heights greater than 185cm is 0.403

Step-by-step explanation:

P( x > 193) = 0.15

= 1- p(x less than or equal 193)

= 1 -p( z < (x- u) /sigma)

= 1- p( z< (193 - 187)/ sigma)

= 1- p( z< 6/ sigma)

P(z< 6/sigma) = 1 - 0.15

P(z < 6/sigma)= 0.85

6/sigma =1.036

Sigma= 6/1.036

Sigma= 5.79

P( x> 185) = 1- p( x< 185)

= 1- p (z < (185- 187)/5.79)

= 1- p( z< -0.345)

= 1- 0.365

= 0.635

P (x> 185) = 0.635 × 0.635

=0.403
