The first reason is that square root extraction is NOT a linear process, i.e.
√a + √b ≠ √(a+b) unless a = b. What usually happens is that some common factors can be gotten out frpom the radical and then the distributive law allows some consolidation of terms.
sqrt(8) + sqrt(32) = 2sqrt(2) + 4sqrt(2) = 6 sqrt(2)

but sqrt(8) + sqrt(24) = 2sqrt(2) + 2sqrt(6) = 2[sqrt(2) + sqrt(6)].

A dog trainer has 104 ft of fencing that will be used to create a rectangular work area for dogs. If the trainer wants to enclos
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

  36 ft by 16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to find dimensions of a rectangle such that the perimeter is 104 ft and the area is 576 ft. The perimeter is twice the sum of length and width, so the sum of length and width is 52 ft.

The area is the product of length and width, so if w represents the width, we have ...

  w(52 -w) = 576

  w² -52w = -576 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, multiply by -1

  w² -52w +26² = 26² -576 . . . . . .  complete the square

  (w -26)² = 676 -576 = 100

  w = 26 ±√100 =  {16, 36}

If the width is the short dimension, it is 16 feet. Then the length is 36 feet.
