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 )

A box of pencils is 5 1/4 inches wide. Seven pencils, laid side by side, take up 2 5/8 inches of the width. How many inches of t
Andre45 [30]

Answer:   Width of box is not taken up by pencils =  2\dfrac58\text{ inches}

Width of each pencil =\dfrac38\text{ inches}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Width of pencil box = 5\dfrac14\text{ inches}=\dfrac{21}{4}\text{ inches}

Width of seven pencils = 2\dfrac58\text{ inches}=\dfrac{16+5}{8}\text{ inches}=\dfrac{21}{8}\text{ inches}

Width of box is not taken up by pencils =  Width of pencil box  - Width of seven pencils

\left \{ {{y=2} \atop {x=2}} \right. \dfrac{21}{4}-\dfrac{21}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{21\times2-21}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{21}{8}\text{ inches}=2\dfrac58\text{ inches}

Width of box is not taken up by pencils =  2\dfrac58\text{ inches}

Width of each pencil = (Width of seven pencils ) ÷ 7

=\dfrac{21}{8}\div7\\\\=\dfrac{21}{8}\times\dfrac17\\\\=\dfrac38\text{ inches}

Width of each pencil =\dfrac38\text{ inches}

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon is 3960°.
scZoUnD [109]

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a convex regular polygon is 180 times (n-2), where n is the number of sides. Since we already know the sum, we can write 3,960 = 180(n-2). If you solve for n in this equation, you will have the number of sides.
