Answer:

width = 9.36 ft

length = 21.36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x ft long. Then it follows that the length will be (x+12) ft long.

To calculate the area would then be

x(x+12) = 200

xx^{2} +12x=200x^{2} +12x-200=0

x = 9.36 ft or x = -21.36 ft

We take the positive answer. So the dimensions are

width = 9.36 ft

length =  9.36 + 12 = 21.36 ft

Darina [25.2K]

By using exponent properties, we will get the simplified expression:

x^{-1}*y^{1/2}*z^2

<h3>How to simplify the given expression?</h3>

Here we have the expression:

(x^{1/2}*y^{-1/4}*z)^{-2}

Remember the exponent properties:

(a^n)^m = a^{n*m}

And:

(a*b)^n = (a^n)*(b^n)

So using these two properties, we can rewrite:

(x^{1/2})^{-2}*(y^{-1/4})^{-2}*(z)^{-2}\\\\(x^{-2*1/2})*(y^{-2*-1/4})*(z^{-2}})\\\\x^{-1}*y^{1/2}*z^2

So we conclude that the completely simplified expression is:

x^{-1}*y^{1/2}*z^2

NemiM [27]
The complete question is
<span>Sarah rides her horse for 2 1/6 hrs with a constant speed of 6 km/hr and then for another 2 hours and 5 minutes with a constant speed of 12 km/hr what is her average speed for the total trip?</span>

we know that
speed=distance/time

1) Sarah rides her horse for 2 1/6 hrs with a constant speed of 6 km/hr
time=2 1/6 hrs----> 13/6 hrs
speed=6 km/h
distance=speed*time----> 6*(13/6)---> 13 km

2)for another 2 hours and 5 minutes with a constant speed of 12 km/hr
time=2hrs+5 minutes----> 2+(5/60)--> 125/60 hrs
speed=12 km/hrs
distance=speed*time----> 12*(125/60)---> 25 km

3) find the average speed for the total trip
total distance=13 km+25 km----> 38 km
total time=(13/6)+(125/60)----> (10*13+125)/60----> 4.25 hours
speed=38/4.25----> 8.94 km/hrs

the answer is
8.94 km/hrs
