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

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer: 2years, 5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal, P = $6000

Rate, R = 3%

Interest, I = $450

Time, T =?

Simple Interest, I = P x T x R/ 100

making T, subject of formula

T = 100 x I/ P x T

Substituting the values into the equation,

T = 100 x 450/ 6000 x 3

T = 45000/ 18000

T = 2.5years = 2years, 5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Cost for the visit=442.25 Rubles

exchange rate

3 USD= 91.5 Rubles

The complete question is given below:-

liana cubed the number of flowering plants in her garden, then added 2 vegetable plants. Let p represent the original number of plants in her garden. Which shows an expression to represent the total number of plants in her garden and the total number of plants if p = 3? 3 p minus 2; when p = 3 the number of plants is 7 3 p + 2; when p = 3 the number of plants is 11 p cubed minus 2; when p = 3 the number of plants is 25 p cubed + 2; when p = 3 the number of plants is 29

<h3 /><h3>What is an expression?</h3>

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

The given expression is liana cubed the number of flowering plants in her garden, then added 2 vegetable plants.

If she cubed the number of the plants will be:- P³

Now she added two vegetable plants:- 2

Then the equation will be:- p³ + 2. Now we will put the value of p = 3 in the equation.

Total number of the plants = ( 3 )³ + 2 = 27 + 2 = 29

Therefore the correct answer is option D which is p³+ 2; when p = 3 the number of plants is 29.
