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.

dalvyx [7]

The mean of the given set of group numbers is 6.6

Given,

In the question:

The Group of numbers are as follows:

6.1, 5.9, 4.2, 5.9 and 10.7

To find the mean of the given set of group of numbers.

Now, According to the question:

Given is the following data:

6.1, 5.9, 4.2, 5.9 and 10.7

We can find the mean of the given set of data using the formula-

Mean (M) = Σ a[i]/n = (Sum of all the elements)/(total number of elements)

Now, n = 5

and Σ a[i] = 6.1 + 5.9 + 4.2+ 5.9 + 10.7 = 32.8

Putting the values in the formula, we get:

M = 32.8/5 = 6.56 = 6.6

Hence, The mean of the given set of group numbers is 6.6
