Answer:

The distance added to each dimension is 2 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial dimensions of the rectangular fence is 8 yards by 4 yards.

The initial area of the rectangular fence = area of a rectangle

area of a rectangle = length x width

So that,

The initial area of the fence = 8 x 4

                                              = 32

The initial area of the fence is 32 square yards.

But, with the new dimensions, area = 60 square yards.

(4 + x) x (8 + x) = 60

x^{2} + 12x + 28 = 60

x^{2} + 12x - 32 = 0

(x + 14) = 0 or (x - 2) = 0

x = -14 or x =2

Thus, x = 2

The distance added to each dimension is 2 yards.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

= $44.19

Step-by-step explanation:

APR = 19%

Billing cycle = 30 days

Balance = $2830

Let's first find the daily rate,

Daily rate =  \frac{0.19}{365} = 0.000521

The daily rate = 0.000521

To calculate the amount Shirley was charged interest for the billing cycle, we use:

Daily rate * billing cycle * balance

Where,

Daily rate

=  \frac{0.19}{365}

Billing cycle = 30 days

Balance = $2830

Therefore, expression to be used =

(\frac{0.19}{365}  * 30) * 2830 \\= $44.19
