The Davidson family wants to expand its rectangular patio, which currently measures 15 ft by 12 ft. They want to extend the leng

th and width the same amount to increase the total area of the patio by 160 ft2. Which quadratic equation best models the situation?
A = lw

(15)(12) + (x)(x) = (15)(12) + 160
 (15x)(12x) = (15)(12) + 160
2(15 + x) + 2(12 + x) = (15)(12) + 160
(15 + x)(12 + x) = (15)(12) + 160

Answer:

Option 4 - (15+x)(12+x)=(15)(12)+160

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The Davidson family wants to expand its rectangular patio, which currently measures 15 ft by 12 ft. They want to extend the length and width the same amount to increase the total area of the patio by 160 ft sq.

To find : Which quadratic equation best models the situation?  

Solution :

Dimension of rectangular patio is

Length = 15 ft.

Width = 12 ft.

Let x be the expansion of length and width of the rectangular patio.

So, The new length of the rectangular patio is (x+15).

The new width of the rectangular patio is (x+12).

We know, Area of rectangle = Length × Width

According to question,

They want to extend the length and width the same amount to increase the total area of the patio by 160 ft sq.

(12+x)(15+x)=160+15\times 12

180+12x+15x+x^2=160+180

180+27x+x^2=340

x^2+27x-160=0        

Therefore, The required quadratic equation is (12+x)(15+x)=160+15\times 12

Hence, Option 4 is correct.

No; just because there is a correlation does not prove causation. 

The correlation says that as the amount of rainfall increases, the amount of oranges produced increases as well.  It does not state what causes it.

We are told that the two players, taken together, scored a total of 49 points. What is the probability that player A scored firs
mario62 [17]

Answer:

1/2 or 50% probability

Step-by-step explanation:

There are just two players, player A and player B. Since it is between this two players, for player A to score first we would have:

AB where player A is the first player to score, we wouldn't have BA since player would not be the first here

Probability = number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes

Therefore probability of A being the first player = number of A/total number of players

=1/2 = 0.50

There is therefore a 50% chance of A being the first player
