We know that area of the square is 141 square feet. Therefore, we can figure out the dimension of square using formula for area as shown below:
We know that fencing is used along the sides of the square. Therefore, amount of fencing required will be equal to perimeter of square.
Hence, we can write:
Upon rounding to nearest foot, we get the amount of fencing required as 48 feet.
Here are a couple I found:
<u>Similarities</u>:
- They have the same y-intercept of (0,5).
- They are both in slope-intercept form.
<u>Differences</u>:
- The line of y = -13x + 5 "falls" from left to right. The line of y = 2x + 5 "rises" from left to right.
- They have different x-intercepts. (y = 2x + 5 intersects (-
, 0) while y = -13x + 5 intersects at (
, 0)
<u></u>
<u>Explanation</u>:
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, and by looking at the equations, they both already fit that format, with m as their slope and b as their y-intercept. Also, since they both have a 5 as that "b," their y-intercepts are the same: (0,5).
As for differences, we can see that the coefficient in place of that "m" is positive in y = <u>2x</u> + 5 and negative in y = <u>-13x</u> + 5. Therefore, one line would rise due to their slope being positive and one would fall due to their slope being negative. They also have two different x-intercepts, which we can calculate by substituting 0 in place of the y, then isolating x.
