Answer:
120 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance the gravel covers is the total distance times the percentage that the gravel covers
We know the gravel covers 66 ft and the percentage is 55%
distance gravel = total distance * percentage
66 = total distance * 55%
66 = total distance *.55
Divide each side by .55
66/.55 = total distance *.55/.55
120 = total distance
Answer:
The square root of 120 is 10.9545.
The square root of 30 is 5.47723.
10.9545 divided by 5.47723 is approximately 2.0000073
The points have the same x-coordinate, so they lie on a horizontal line. The distance between them is the difference between their y-coordinates.
2.5 - 1.4 = 1.1
The distance between the two points is 1.1
The quadratic formula is above.
You want each equation in standard form: ax^2 + bx + c = 0
I begin each problem by defining variables.
For instance 3. Is in standard form. X^2 -2x - 3 = 0. a = 1, b = -2, c = -3
Now use quadratic formula: x = [- b + or - sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)]\2a
