Considering the perimeter of a square, it is found that:
- The length of one side of the garage originally was of 61.5 ft.
- The length of one side of the garage now is of 92.25 ft.
- The percent increase in the length of one side was of 50%.
<h3>What is the perimeter of a square?</h3>
The perimeter of a square of side length s is given by four times the length, that is:
P = 4s.
Before the change, the perimeter was of 246 ft, hence:
4s = 246
s = 246/4
s = 61.5.
The length of one side of the garage originally was of 61.5 ft.
After that, the perimeter increased by 50%, hence:
P = 246 x 1.5 = 369.
4s = 369
s = 369/4
s = 92.25.
The length of one side of the garage now is of 92.25 ft.
The percent increase is the increase divided by the initial value, hence:
(92.25 - 61.5)/61.5 = 50%.
The percent increase in the length of one side was of 50%.

Answer: C. 34
Step-by-step explanation: 1749 divided by 50 is 34.94 however those extra cents has to just be counted like a tip because it’s not big enough to count as someone. It has to be a full number. Sorry if I explain weird!
Step-by-step explanation:
Let vertical height of ladder from ground be y and
horizontal distance of the base of the ladder from the wall be x respectively.
Length of the ladder = l (constant) = 10 ft
<u>Using Pythagoras theorem</u>:
Differentiate both sides w.r.t time
<u>We know that</u> (After 1 sec, y = 6 ft and x = 8 ft ; dy/dt = 2 ft/sec)
<u>( Ignore - ive sign)</u>
Therefore, bottom of the ladder is sliding away from the wall at a speed of 1.5 ft/sec one second after the ladder starts sliding.
