You have a garden in your backyard that measures 15 meters by 20 meters. You want to place stepping stones around the perimeter

of the garden. The area of the new garden (original garden + stone placed around the perimeter) is 336m². What is the width of the stone border? (Assume the border has the same width around the entire perimeter.) Equation used = bi Width of stone border = meters​

Answer:

0.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the dimensions of the garden are 15 meters by 20 meters.

The area of the new garden (original garden + stone placed around the perimeter) is 336m².

Let d be the width of the border having stepping stones as shown in the figure. The shaded region in the figure is the area having stepping stones.

The area including the shaded region = (15+2d)(20+2d) m^2

\Rightarrow 336  = (15+2d)(20+2d) \\\\\Rightarrow 336  = 300+ 70 d +4d^2 \\\\\Rightarrow 4d^2 +70d+300-336=0 \\\\\Rightarrow 4d^2 +70d-36=0 \\\\\Rightarrow 2d^2 +35d-18=0 \\\\\Rightarrow 2d^2 +36d-d-18=0 \\\\\Rightarrow (2d-1)(d+18)=0 \\\\\Rightarrow (2d-1)=0, \; or \; (d+18) \\\\\Rightarrow d= 0.5\;or -18 \\\\

As the width of the stone border can't be a negative value, so taking the positive value.

Hence, the width of the stone border is 0.5 m.

So, the wi

If f(x) = 2x2 + 1, what is f(x) when x = 3? a.1 b.7 c.13 d.19
prohojiy [21]

<u>Answer:</u>

The value of f(x) = 2x^2 + 1 when x=3 is 19, hence the correct option is ‘d’.

<u>Solution:</u>

A two degree polynomial equation is given in the question.

The equation is:

F(x)=2 x^{2}+1

We need <em>to find the value of f(x) when the value of x is 3. </em>

To solve a question like this we have to substitute the given value of x in the given equation and then simplify it.

Now let's substitute the value of x in the given equation.

F(x)=2(3)^{2}+1

First we square the number 3 and then multiply it with 2 and then add 1.

This is done because of the BODMAS rule, in which multiplication is given higher preference as compared to addition.

On solving the equation we get,

F(x)=2×9+1

F(x)=18+1

F(x)=19.

Therefore the value of f(x) when x=3 is 19.

Hence the correct option is ‘d’.

Answer:

B - 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't really know how to explain how I got it because I'm only in middle school in pre-algebra, but I did teach this to myself online haha, so here we go. Daneille rolled the dice 90 times, it only landed on 6 10 times. That is 10/90 which, simplified, is 1/9.

angle A and angle B are supplementary angles. If m∠=(4x - 30) degree and m∠B =(4x-14) degree, then find the measure of ∠A
sesenic [268]

Answer:

<A = 26°

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 30 + 4x - 14 = 180

Supplementary angles sum together to make 180

=> 4x + 4x = 16x

=> -30-14 = -44

16x = 180+44

16x = 224

x = 224/16

x = 14°

4(14) - 30 = 26°
