Side of the original square is 5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the side of the original square be x. Then side of the new square = x + 3 and Area of new square = 64 cm²

Area of a square = (side)²

⇒ 64 = (x + 3)²

⇒ 64 = x² + 6x + 9

⇒ x² + 6x - 55 = 0

⇒ x² + 11x - 5x - 55 = 0        (Since 6x = 11x - 5x as part of factorizing)

⇒ x(x + 11) - 5(x + 11) = 0

⇒ (x + 11)(x - 5) = 0

⇒ x = -11 and x = 5 (Lengths can't be negative)

Side of the original square is 5 cm.

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 16 grams initally. Then, the amount of water decreases by 3.5%.

So first we must find 3.5% of 16. 3.5% in decimal form is 0.035, since you divide 3.5 by 100. Then, when you multiply 0.035 by 16, you get 0.56. Since the solution decreased by that percentage, you must subtract 0.56 from 16, which is 15.44.

Then the amount of water decreases by 4.25%. That in decimal form is 0.0425. You multiply it by 15.44, and it comes out to 0.6562. You subtract that from 15.44, not 16, since some of the water has evaporated. So you get 14.7838.

zheka24 [161]

I think there's supposed to be a picture here. Anyway, you can find out by finding the slope of the line on the graph and comparing it to .5 which is Henry's slope. If the graphed slope is larger than .5 then Clark hikes faster, if it is less than .5, Henry hikes faster.

Hope this helps :)
