Answer
Find out the original side length of the square .
To prove
Let us assume that the original length of the square be x.
Formula
As given
The dimensions of a square are altered so that 8 inches is added to one side while 3 inches is subtracted from the other.
Length becomes = x + 8
Breadth becomes = x -3
The area of the resulting rectangle is 126 in²
Put in the formula
(x + 8) × (x - 3) = 126
x² -3x + 8x -24 = 126
x ²+ 5x = 126 +24
x² + 5x - 150 = 0
x² + 15x - 10x - 150 = 0
x (x + 15) -10 (x +15) =0
(x + 15)(x -10) =0
Thus
x = -15 , 10
As x = -15 (Neglected this value because the side of the square cannot be negative.)
Therefore x = 10 inches be the original side of the square.
Answer:
128.
Step-by-step explanation:
did all angles to find out x = 8. makes only sense. So exterior angle is 16x8 which is 128. if their is more to question whoops lol. if not ur welcome. pls rate if correct or not.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Days with t are: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
In the period of time given there are 20 T days (20 x 3 = 60 oranges)
In the period of time given there are ? no T days (27 x 2 = 54 oranges)
60 + 54 = 114 Oranges eaten over the school holidays
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
A = 1/2bh
36 = 1/2(12)(x)
x = 6
If a plane flies an average of 325 miles per hour, to find out 7 hours you will need to times 325 by 7.
325 x 7 = 2275.
therefore the flight for 7 hours was 2275 miles.
