Answer:

The width of the garden is 1.16 m

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

<em>Find the area of the garden</em>

To find out the area of the garden multiply by 1/3 the area of the building

225(\frac{1}{3})=75\ m^2

step 2

Find the length side of the square building

The area of a square is

A=b^2

where

b is the length side of the square

we have

A=225\ m^2

so

b^2=225\\b=15\ m

step 3

Find the width of the garden

Let

x ----> the width of the garden

we know that

The area of the building plus the area of the garden is equal to

(15+2x)^2=225+75

solve for x

225+60x+4x^2=225+75\\4x^2+60x-75=0

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

using a graphing tool

The  solution is x=1.16 m

see the attached figure

therefore

The width of the garden is 1.16 m

Find the exact value

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^{2} +bx+c=0

is equal to

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

4x^2+60x-75=0  

so

a=4\\b=60\\c=-75

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{-60\pm\sqrt{60^{2}-4(4)(-75)}} {2(4)}

x=\frac{-60\pm\sqrt{4,800}} {8}

x=\frac{-60\pm40\sqrt{3}} {8}

x=\frac{-60+40\sqrt{3}} {8}\ m  ----> exact value

➷The best metric unit to use for the mass of a grasshopper is grams, because a grasshopper is very light and a gram is small.

One gram is about the weight of a paper clip or a butterfly.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(4,6) and (20,14) are points on the line.

slope of line = (14-6)/(20-4) = 8/16= 1/2

point-slope equation for line of slope 1/2 that passes through (6,4):

y-4 = (½)(x-6)

in slope-intercept form:

y = ½x + 1

y-intercept = 1

The angle immediately below x makes up the third angle of the isosceles triangle whose base angles are 55°. That third angle and x are "vertical" angles, hence equal. The value of x can be found from the sum of angles of a triangle:
  x + 55° + 55° = 180°
  x = 70°

The appropriate choice is the 2nd one:
  70°

The value of the fraction 3c+2/4 one less than the value of the fraction 5c-1/3.
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

7/8 > 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 7/8

We can compare this as follows.

Lets say both are equal.

Cross multiplying these we get 40=42

We get 40<42. In fraction we get

In case if you want to convert this to decimal, we get;

5/6 = 0.833 and 7/8 = 0.875

We get 5/6<7/8

B) 4/5

Similarly we get 4/5 = 0.8 and 5/6 = 0.833

Here 4/5<5/6

C) 3/4

we get 3/4 = 0.75 and 5/6 = 0.833

3/4<5/6

D) 2/3

we get 2/3 = 0.66 and 5/6 = 0.833

2/3<5/6

A shop makes a profit of £2750 in March.
LiRa [457]

Answer:

15% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

2750... 10% of that is 275, add 275 to 2750 is 3025. 1% of 2750 is 27.50, you times that by 5, which is 137.50 and add that to 3025 giving you 3162.50, add the 10% with the 5% gives you 15%, that's the increase.
