The larger square garden at Volterra Hall has sides twice as long as the smaller square garden. Together the gardens cover 18,00

0 square feet. Find the dimensions of each garden.

We will call:
G_{1}: The larger square garden.
G_{2}: The smaller square garden.

Given that both of then have square areas, then:
A_{G1} =    L_{G1}^{2}
A_{G2} = L_{G2}^{2}

Being L_{G1} the side of the larger garden and L_{G2} the side of the smaller garden as shown in the figure.

<span>The larger square garden at Volterra Hall has sides twice as long as the smaller square garden, thus:

</span>L_{G1} = 2L_{G2}

<span>Together the gardens cover 18,000 square feet, so:
</span>A_{G1} + A_{G2} = L_{G1}^{2} + L_{G2}^{2} = 18000

Then:
(2L_{G2})^{2} + L_{G2}^{2} = 18000
4L_{G2}^{2} + L_{G2}^{2} = 18000
5L_{G2}^{2} = 18000
L_{G2}^{2} = 3600
L_{G2} =  \sqrt{3600}
L_{G2} =  60
L_{G1} = 2L_{G2} = 2(60) = 120

Therefore:
Each side of the larger square garden is 120 ft and each side of the smaller one is 60 ft each. These are the dimensions.

The ratio of men to women in a room is 3:4. Eight women enter the room, no men enter the room and none of the original people in
vampirchik [111]
There are 64 people in the room.

Since the ratio for women increases 1 when 8 women enter the room, for every time there is 1 in the ratio there are 8 people. That means that originally you have to do 3x8 and 4x8. You get 24 and 32 which equals 56. Then when 8 more women enter the room, you get 64.

Enter the correct answer in the box. solve the equation x2 − 16x 54 = 0 by completing the square. fill in the values of a and b
poizon [28]

The roots of the given polynomials exist  $x=8+\sqrt{10}$, and $x=8-\sqrt{10}$.

<h3>What is the formula of the quadratic equation?</h3>

For a quadratic equation of the form $a x^{2}+b x+c=0$ the solutions are

$x_{1,2}=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Therefore by using the formula we have

$x^{2}-16 x+54=0$$

Let, a = 1, b = -16 and c = 54

Substitute the values in the above equation, and we get

$x_{1,2}=\frac{-(-16) \pm \sqrt{(-16)^{2}-4 \cdot 1 \cdot 54}}{2 \cdot 1}$$

simplifying the equation, we get

$&x_{1,2}=\frac{-(-16) \pm 2 \sqrt{10}}{2 \cdot 1} \\

$&x_{1}=\frac{-(-16)+2 \sqrt{10}}{2 \cdot 1}, x_{2}=\frac{-(-16)-2 \sqrt{10}}{2 \cdot 1} \\

$&x=8+\sqrt{10}, x=8-\sqrt{10}

Therefore, the roots of the given polynomials are $x=8+\sqrt{10}$, and

$x=8-\sqrt{10}$.
