Given:
The equation for the area of the first option is:

Where x is the side length of the current square park.
To find:
The side length of the current square park.
Solution:
We have,

It can be written as:

Splitting the middle term, we get




We know that the side length of a park cannot be negative. So, the only possible value of x is 320.
Therefore, the most direct method to solve the given equation is splitting the middle term and the side length of the current square park is 320 meters.
Answer: 128 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
let's start with the perimeter: the perimeter is the total length to the sides/edges of a shape.
since we're dealing with a rectangle, there will be 4 sides
two lengths & two widths
so 48+48+16+16=128 inches
22.5 miles
You would create a proportion based on the given information, then cross multiply and solve for the number of miles 1 gallon of gas can go.
The answer be negative 158 or -158
Cosine(angle) = adjacent leg/ hypotenuse
Cosine( angle ) = 18/20
Angle = arccos(18/20)
Angle = 26 degrees
