Answer:
3.41 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = Length × Breath
Area of the rectangular lawn = 100 × 50
= 5000 feet²
The sidewalk must occupy an area no more than 10% of the total lawn area.
So, the area of the sidewalk would be not more than = 10% × 5000
= 0.10 × 5000
= 500 feet²
Let the width of the sidewalk = x feet
area of the side walk = (L×W of the long way) + ((L-x)×W of the short way)
(100 × x) + ((50 - x) × x) < 500
100x + (50-x)(x) < 500
-x² + 150x < 500
-x² + 150x = 500
-x² + 150x - 500 = 0
By using quadratic formula



or 
x = 3.41089 ≈ 3.41 feet or x = 146.58
Therefore, width of the sidewalk would be 3.41 feet.
0.424 rounded to nearest tenth would be 0.4 as you can not round up because the hundredth place is not 5 or higher
Answer:
-8z-1
Step-by-step explanation:
'is' in mathematics means equal
'of' in mathematics means multiplication
percent means over 100
84 = 74% * x
84 = 74/100 * x
84 = 37/50 * x
Multiply 50/37 on both sides, so we can isolate 'x'
85 * 50/37 = x
x = 4250/37
x ≈ 114.864865
84 is 74 percent of <span>114.86</span>.
