If you mean the slope is m=-2
The image for this is attached for reference. This problem can be used by the Pythagorean equation. To make solving convenient, let us see only one part of the tent. Hence, one side is half of the tend width which is 16/2ft. Height is 12 ft. The unknown side is the hypotenuse. The answer is:
Answer:
The length side of the original square banner was 9 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x-----> the length side of the original square banner
we know that
The new area of the banner is equal to

Solve for x

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing
The solution is x=9 ft
see the attached figure
Answer:
x = 3
Explanation:
15x + 5 + 22x + 4 + 60 = 180
37x + 69 = 180
37x = 111
x = 3
