Width = x
length = x+10

Area of deck = 144 square feet

Area = length * width

144 = x(x+10)

Solving for x in a quadratic:

x²+10x = 144
x²+10x-144 = 0

Factor:
(x+18)(x-8) = 0

Solving for x:
x = 8, x = -18

Dimensions cannot be negative, therefore x = 8, only.

Length = x + 10
Length = 18

Width = 8

40% of the children in a sports club play badminton. 25% of the children who play badminton also play squash. There are 11 child
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

There are 110 children total in the sports club

Step-by-step explanation:

To get this answer, its actually easier than it seems. You might need a calculator however.

First you start with the 11 children who play both badminton and squash, then, you divide that by 0.25 (25%) to get 44.

Next you take 44 and divide it by 0.4 (40%) to get 110.

And there you go! If you want to make sure you got it right simply start with 110 and multiply it by 0.4 then multiply the number/decimal you get by 0.25. You should get 11 to confirm your answer :)

Whats the distance between {-4 , 12} and {18 , 12}
belka [17]
You would need to use the distance formula.
Distance = Sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)
Plug in your numbers
Distance = Sqrt((12+4)^2+(12-18)^2)
Distance = 17.09
