Sqrt[x] = -x
x= x ^ 2
x - x^2 = 0
-x(x-1)=0
x(x-1)=0
x = 1 or x = 0
sqrt 1 isn not equal to 0
x= 0
Knowing the squareroot of 81 is 9, we can easily know that square root of 83 is close to 9.
9 to the closest tenth is 10.
Hope I helped :)
Old scale : 1 in. to 3 ft.
length is 9 in.....9 * 3 = 27 ft (old scale length)
width is 6 in......6 * 3 = 18 ft (old scale width)
new scale : 1 in. to 4 ft
length is 9 in.....9 * 4 = 36 ft (new scale length)
width is 6 in......6 * 4 = 24 ft (new scale width)
