Answer:

17.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The side length of the outer square(the whole garden) is 20 feet and the area of a square is length squared.

20² = 400

For the first question, the area of the inner square will be

X = Length × Width

The area of the entire garden which is also the area of the outer square is

Length × width

= 20 × 20

= 400 feet

For the third question,we were asked to find 75% of the area of the entire garden which is

75/100 × 400

=300 feet

For the fourth question, we are now asked to write an equation of the area of the inner square using steps 1 and 3

x² = 0.75(20²)

x² = 300

For the fifth question

x² = 0.75(20)²

x² = 300

x = √300

x = (+ or-)17.32 feet

And for the last queston

x = +17.32 feet since the length shouldn't be a negative

Answer:

x = 17 ft ... ( nearest 10th of a foot )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The side length of inner square = x ft

- The side length of outer square = 20 ft

Find:-

Find the side length of the inner square that would make the area of the inner square equal to 75% of the total area of the garden.

Solution:-

- Compute the area of the inner square (A_i) using side length (x):

                                 A_i = side length ^2

                                A_i = x^2 ft^2

- The area of the entire garden is the area (A_o) of the outer square with side length equal to 20 ft.

                                 A_o = side length ^2

                                 A_o = 20^2

                                A_o = 400 ft^2

- The 75% of the entire garden is :

                                 (75 / 100)*A_o

                                 (75 / 100)*400

                                 300 ft^2

- The area of the inner square is 75% of the entire garden the mathematical expression for it is:

                                 A_i = 300 ft^2

                                 x^2 = 300 ft^2

- The side length required for the inner square is the solution to the quadratic equation above:

                                 x = √300

                                 x = 17.320508ft.

                                 x = 17 ft ... ( nearest 10th of a foot )

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Hello your question lacks the required options here are the options

By blocking on stopping distance

By blocking on tire tread type

By blocking on automobile type

By blocking on automobile size

Without blocking

Answer : By blocking on automobile size

Step-by-step explanation:

The experiment can best be conducted by blocking on the automobile and this is because the Automobile size and the stopping distance are proportionally related (associated ) as seen from the previous experiments hence the best experiment is By blocking on the size of the automobile is very crucial .

we can have a symmetric tread tire or an asymmetric tires fixed on the different types of Automobiles simultaneously and see if the stopping  distance will be affected when we change the tires that way we are blocking on the Automobile size the same type of tires will be fixed at the same time on each automobile size
