Let the width be x.
Length is 8 feet more than width. Length = x + 8
Area = x(x + 8)
width increased by 4, that is, (x + 4)
Length decreased by 5, (x + 8 - 5) = (x + 3)
Area = (x + 4)(x +3)
Area remains the same
x(x + 8) = (x+4)(x +3)
x² + 8x = x(x +3) + 4(x +3)
x² + 8x = x² +3x + 4x +12
x² + 8x = x² +7x +12 Eliminate x² from both sides
8x = 7x + 12
8x - 7x = 12
x = 12
Dimensions of original rectangle : x, x + 8
12, 12 +8 = 12, 20
Original rectangle is 20 feet by 12 feet
Answer:
Domain : 0 ≤ t ≤ 3
Range : -4 ≤ d ≤ 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph attached models the depth of submarine as a function of time.
Points on x-axis represent the time and points on y-axis represent increase in height of the submarine.
Domain of a function is represented by the points on x-axis.
Therefore, Domain : 0 ≤ t ≤ 3
Range of function is represented by te points on y-axis.
Therefore, Range : -4 ≤ d ≤ 0
SOLUTION
Let us use a simple diagram to interprete the question
In the diagram above, the dark stuff below represents the shadow and the rectangular bar represents the building. I have labelled the height of the building as h.
So we will use the right-angled triangle formed to find h
As we can see h represents the opposite side and 56.5 feet represents the adjacent side of the right-angle triangle. So we will use TOA

So we have

Hence the answer is 104.9 feet to the nearest tenth
The fifth square root as in a^(1/2)^(1/2)^(1/2)^(1/2)^(1/2)
Well that is equal to a^((1/2)^5) or a^(1/32)
Since a=x^16 in this case and the rule (b^a)^c=b^(a*c) we have:
(x^16)^(1/32)
x^(16/32)
x^(1/2) or if you prefer
√x
