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

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!!!

kotykmax [81]

Answer: 129

Step-by-step explanation:

the mean is the average of the data. including x, there are 6 data points

average = total/6

average = (98 + 123 + 105 +114 +109 + x) / 6

113 = (98 + 123 + 105 +114 +109 + x) / 6

113 = (549+ x) / 6

678 = 549 + x

x = 129
