The area of a square game court is 144 square feet. How long is the side of the court?

Veronika [31]3 years ago

Answer:

12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the side length is a length, it will be positive and not negative, so we solve this equation for s by taking the positive square root of both sides of the equation. We get that s = 12, so the side length of a square with an area of 144 square feet is 12 feet.While -12 is "a square root" of 144, the square root operation here denotes a function from nonnegative real numbers to nonnegative real numbers. A function can only produce a single result. So the expression √144 evaluates to the positive root 12.Because one square foot is 144 square inches, divide the total number of square inches by 144.

Hope that was helpful.Thank you!!!

A rectangle is 36 inches x 48 inches.<br><br> what is the perimeter.?<br><br> what is its area.?
olga nikolaevna [1]
For area, just multiply the length x width
So therefore, multiply 36 inches x 48 inches and there you have it.

Now for the perimeter, it is a little different
You'd have to add the sides up together to get your answer for the perimeter.
So, 36 in + 36 in + 48 in + 48 in = answer

In a test (+5) marks are given for every correct answer and (-2) marks are given for every incorrect answer. Smitha answered all
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

15 answers

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we need to set up an equation.

Let's name the number of incorrect answers x.

<u>We can set up an equation that's essentially:</u>

(Points for correct answer)*(number of correct answers)+(points for incorrect answer)*(number of incorrect answers)=final score

When we plug in our numbers and variables it looks like this:

5(3)+(-2x)=-15

Simplify

15-2x=-15

Subtract 15 from both sides

-2x=-30

Divide both sides by -2

x=15

This means Smitha attempted 15 wrong answers, and that there were 18 questions in total.

Prism A has a volume of 60 cubic units and a height of 12 units. Prism B has the same base area and height but a length of 15 un
stepladder [879]

Answer:

As both prism have the same base area and height there volumes are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the prism is given by

Volume of Prism A= base area* height

60 cubic units= base area* 12

base area= 60/12= 5 units

Volume of Prism B= base area* height

                              = 5 units*12 units

                             = 60 cubic units

As both prism have the same base area and height there volumes are the same.

The length of the longer side is the length of the triangle itself.

For example the length of longer side of prism A maybe 10 units but width may be 1/2 units

and

the length of longer side of prism B maybe 15 units but width may be 1/3 units

the total base area remains the same.
