Answer:

The answer to your question is initial length = 10 ft final length = 14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

length = s

Area = 196

Equation

                        (s + 4)² = 196

Expand

                        s² + 8s + 16 = 196

Solve for s

                        s² + 8s + 16 - 196 = 0

                        s² + 8s - 180 = 0

Factor

                        (s + 18)(s - 10) = 0

Find s₁ and s₂

                         s₁ + 18 = 0           s₂ - 10 = 0

                         s₁ = -18                s₂ = 10                      

Conclusion

The initial length of a side was 10 ft, because the are no negative lengths -18 is discarded.

H=7+44t-16^2
zalisa [80]

Answer:

When t=2.1753 & t=.5746 , h=27

Don't worry, I got you. Also, my calculator does too.

We set h equal to 27, because we want the height to be 27 when we solve for t.

That leaves us with:

27 = 7 + 44t - 16t^2

Simplify like terms,

20 = 44t - 16t^2

Move 20 onto the right side, so we can use quadratic equation

44t - 16t^2 - 20 = 0 --> -16t^2 + 44t - 20

Using quadratic, you get

t=2.1753 & t=.5746

<u>poster confirmed : "It’s t=2.18 and t=0.57"</u>
