I'm going to assume that the room is a rectangle.
The area of a rectangle is A = lw, where l=length of the rectangle and w=width of the rectangle.
You're given that the length, l = (x+5)ft and the width, w = (x+4)ft. You're also told that the area, A = 600 sq. ft. Plug these values into the equation for the area of a rectangle and FOIL to multiply the two factors:
Now subtract 600 from both sides to get a quadratic equation that's equal to zero. That way you can factor the quadratic to find the roots/solutions of your equation. One of the solutions is the value of x that you would use to find the dimensions of the room:
Now you know that x could be -29 or 20. For dimensions, the value of x must give you a positive value for length and width. That means x can only be 20. Plugging x=20 into your equations for the length and width, you get:
Length = x + 5 = 20 + 5 = 25 ft.
Width = x + 4 = 20 + 4 = 24 ft.
The dimensions of your room are 25ft (length) by 24ft (width).

Answer: mean=87, median=87.5 and range=18
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean:
First add all the numbers
78+95+77+92+87+79+94+86+88+94 = 870
Then you divide the answer by counting the numbers
870÷10
=87
Median:
First arrange the numbers in ascending order (from smallest to largest)
77, 78, 79, 86, 87, 88, 92, 94, 94, 95
pick the two middle numbers which is 87 and 88
then you do
= 175÷2
= 87.5
range = Largest number - smallest number
= 95-77
= 18
