The initial dimenssions of the park lot are:
length: 140 ft
width: 90 ft
initial area: 140 * 90 = 12,600 ft^2
Area increased 29% = 12,600 * 1.29 = 16,254 ft^2
width of the strips: x
New length: 140 + x
New width: 90 + x
New area: (140+x)(90+x) = 16,254
Solution of the equation:
12600 + 230x + x^2 = 16254
=> x^2 + 230x - 3654 = 0
Use the quadratic formula.
x = {-230 +/- √[ 230^2 - 4*1*(-3654) ]} / 2 =
x = 14.92
The other solution is negative so it is discarded.
Answer: 15 ft
Answer: The circumference of the circle is 53.38 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Circumference of the circle is the distance around the circle.
Formula used:
Where,
C is circumference of circle
r is radius of circle
Given:
Radius of circle = 8.5 cm
Now putting all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Therefore, the circumference of the circle is 53.38 cm.
proportional because 1*5/3*5=5/15
30=1/2 inch
60=1/2x2=1 inch
90=1/2x3=1 1/2
shortest side is 1/2 inch, medium side is 1 inch, longest is 1 1/2
