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.

Answer:

  • 4/13 h ≈ 0.308 h
  • 22 9/13 km ≈ 22.7 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary and Amaruk are starting 35 -15 = 20 km apart. Their closing speed is 40 +25 = 65 km/h. The time it will take to close the gap between them is ...

  t = (20 km)/(65 km/h) = 20/65 h = 4/13 h ≈ 0.308 h

They will pass each other after 4/13 hours, about 18 minutes 28 seconds.

__

In that time, Mary will have increased her distance from Hall Beach by ...

  d = (4/13 h)(25 km/h) = 100/13 km = 7 9/13 km

Her distance from Hall Beach when she passes Amaruk will be ...

  15 km + 7 9/13 km = 22 9/13 km ≈ 22.7 km . . . . . distance from Hall Beach

The fact that sin(150°) = .5 and sin(-150°) = -.5 implies that the sine function is which type of function?
Naddika [18.5K]
Answer: A) Odd

In general, sin(-x) = -sin(x) for all values of x, so it's an odd function. I don't mean it's a strange function. I mean "odd" in the sense that it's not even (eg: the number 7 is an odd number).

Which mathematical property is demonstrated?
andriy [413]
The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the third choice or letter C "<span>commutative property of addition."

</span>The word "commutative" comes from "commute" or "move around", so theCommutative Property<span> is the one that refers to moving stuff around. For </span>addition<span>, the rule is "a + b = b + a"; in numbers, this means 2 + 3 = 3 + 2. For multiplication, the rule is "ab = ba"; in numbers, this means 2×3 = 3×2.</span>


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!
