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.

olganol [36]

Answer: $43146

Step-by-step explanation:

So his total earning is $54,000. He has to pay $201 for every $1,000 he earns. So 54,000/1,000= 54. So now he has to pay 54*201=10854, 54000-10854=43146. His net income for this year is $43146.

Needed help with a algebra 2 question if so...
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Quadrant II

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 360 degrees in a circle we will subtract it from 860 until we get a number less than 360

860-360=500\\500-360=140

Since it less than 180 but more than 90 it will be in the second quadrant

Hope this helps! <3
