In remodeling a house an architect finds that by adding the same amount to each dimension of a 15ft by 19ft rectangular room, th

e area would be increased by 98 ft^2. How
much must be added to each dimension?
Let x be the amount that is added to each dimension. After writing an equation in standard form with a > 0, a= ? b= ? and c= ?
(Simplify your answers.)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

new length=15+x

width=19+x

then area=(15+x)×(19+x)=285+15x+19x+x²=x²+34x+285 ft²

original area=15×19=285 ft²

then 285+98=x²+34x+285

or

x²+34x-98=0

x²+34x+17²=98+17²

(x+17)²=98+289=387

x+17=√387=3√43

x=3√43-17 ft

State the domain and range for the function f(x) = –x2 + 5.<br> (please show steps for brainliest!)
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is valid for all real values of x , so

domain is x ∈ R

Since the coefficient of the x² term < 0 , then

f(x) has a maximum vertex at (0, 5 )

range is ( - ∞ , 5 ]

Look at the figure shown below: Which step should be used to prove that point A is equidistant from points C and B?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Combine points A with C and A with B. Consider ΔABD and ΔACD:


1. AD is common side, then  AD\cong AD;


2.   CD\cong BD  - given in the diagram;


3.  \angle ADB\cong \angle ADC .


By SAS Postulate,  \triangle ABD\cong \triangle ACD . Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding sides and congruent corresponding angles, so  AC\cong AB .


From this proof you can see that correct choice is option D (In triangles ABD and ACD, two sides and an included angle are equal.)

can someone please do this for me and tell me how so I can do the other one pleaseeee I don't know what to do
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

P(green) =1/4

P(orange)=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming this is probability but it\s been a while, so i'm not sure

number one is a square being divided into half and then one half is being divided into quarters. (as shown by the dotted lines and right angle)

so the probablity of landing in green is 1/4, because it is one fourth of the square.

the probability of the orange is 1/2 because it is 1/2 of the square

The same logic would apply to the "circle" i can see in the next problem. 120 degrees is 1/3 of 360, 90 is 1/4, and so on.

Hope that helps.

2 5/7 as a decimal. How do you figure out?
weqwewe [10]
2 5/7 as a decimal is approximately 2.70

We know that the ones place will be a two. That doesn’t change when you convert. Next you need to divide 100 by 7, which equals 14. Then you need to do 14 times 5, which equals 70. So, now you know the values after the decimal point (.70). Combine that with the whole number 2 to get 2.70.
