To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

 - The<span> rectangular deck has the following dimensions: 12 ft by 14 ft.
 - When the length and width are increased by the same amount, the area becomes 288 ft</span>².

 2. Therefore, you have:

 A=bxh

 288=(12x)(14x)
 288=168x²

 3. When you clear the x, you obtain:

 x=√288/168
 x=(2√21)/7≈1.31

Answer:

4 ft option (c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of a rectangular deck = 12 ft.

width of rectangular deck= 14 ft.

let the length and width are increased by the x ft.

New length = (12 + x) ft  

New width = (14+ x) ft.

area of rectangular width = length × width

according to the question

(12+x)(14+x) = 288

168+x^{2}=+14x+12x = 288

x^{2}+26x = 228-168

x^{2}+26x-120=0

x^{2}+ 30x-4x-120=0

x(x+30)-4x(x+30)

x=4 or x=-30

x=-30 is rejected

Hence, the length and width are increased by the 4 ft.

Three integers have a mean of 7, a median of 5 and a range of 14. find the three integers​
inna [77]

Answer:

1, 5, 15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I knew 5 was one of them because, 5 was the median and there were only three numbers. Next you have to find out the first and last number. Then, I looked at the mean. To get the mean, you have to add all of the numbers up and divide that by how many numbers there are. Since the mean is 7 and there are 3 numbers, I knew that the sum of all three numbers was 21 because, 21 divided by 3 is 7. Then I saw that the range of all the numbers was 14. The range is the difference between the largest and smallest number so I knew that the largest number subtracted by the smallest number had to be 14. Then, I saw that 15-1=14, and 1+5+15=21. So the three integers are, 1, 5 and 15.

I need help on questions 48 and 49.
xenn [34]
48. A square's sides are equal, so we know that its area is a number multiplied by itself, or squared. To find the length of one side, you must take the square root of its area, 156.25, which is 12.5. To find the square's perimeter (how much fence we need to go around the garden) you must multiply that side by 4, to get 50. Antonine has 40 ft already, so he only needs 10 more ft, and each ft costs 4.97. Our final answer is 10*4.97, or $49.70. 

49. The square root of 12 is about 3.46, plus 2 is our answer, about 5.46 cm.

Given the equation, C = P + (P)(T), what is the final cost of a cell phone priced at $20.00 with a tax rate of 5%?
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer: Answer is $21

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation C = P + (P)(T)

where P= $20

T= 5%; 5/100 = 0.05

Substitute the figures in the equation,

$20 + $20 (0.05)

Apply BODMAS and open bracket first

$20 + $1

= $21
