Answer:

4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can consider the orignial square's sides to be x, so the area of the original figure:

The new flower bedś sides will be x and x+8, so the area of the new figure will be x^2+8x.

A= L*W

We know that the new area is 3 times the old one. So the equation will be:

x^2+8x=3x^2

our answer will be x=4.

Therefore, the length of the side of the old flower bed is 4 ft.

It would make my day if this gets marked as brainliest

Answer:

4 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can consider the orignial square's sides to be x, so area of the original figure: x^{2}

The new rectangle's sides will be x and x+8, so the area of the new figure will be x^2+8x.

We know that the new area is 3 times the old one. So our equation will be:

x^2+8x=3x^2

our answer will be x=4.

Therfore, the length of the side of the old flower bed is 4 ft.

Help please thanks don’t know how to do this
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

a = 11.71 ; b = 15.56

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we need two things.  The law of sines, and the sum of the interior angles of a triangle.

The law of sines is simply:

sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b = sin(C)/c

And the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180.

45 + 110 + <C = 180

<C = 25

We can find the sides by simply applying the law of sines.

length b

7/sin(25) = b/sin(110)

b = 7sin(110)/sin(25)

b = 15.56

length a

7/sin(25) = a/sin(45)

a = 7sin(45)/sin(25)

a = 11.71

Solve the equation: (x − 4)(x − 3) = 0
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

x=4, x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is most often the format taken from the polynomial form of this problem, which is x^2-7x+12, and when it is in this format you just take each set of numbers within each parenthesis and set it to zero, then solve. In this case, x can be equal to either 3 or 4.
