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.

Carl has three lengths of cable, 5/6 yard long, 1/4 yard long, and 2/3 yard long. If he uses 1 yard of cable, how much cable is
Dafna1 [17]
He would have 9/12 yards left over because you have to create a common denominator which would be 12. so for 5/6 you would multiply by 2 so you have 10/12. 1/4 you have to multiply by 3 so you get 3/12. and 2/3 you have to multiply by 4 so you get 8/12. then you add them 10/12+3/12+8/12 = 21/12 which simplifies to 1 9/12 and because he used 1 yard he is left with 9/12.
final answer: 9/12 yards
