Answer:
120 square feet ( 13.333 square yards)
Step-by-step explanation:
8 ft x 15 feet = 120 ft^2
A) The greatest rectangular area will be the area of a square 10 m on each side, 100 m^2.
b) The new dimensions will be 11 m × 11 m.
.. The new area will be (11 m)^2 = 121 m^2.
c) The area was increased by 121 m^2 -100 m^2 = 21 m^2, or 21%.
d) Yes, and no.
.. If you increase the dimensions by 10%, the area will increase by 21%.
.. (40 m)^2 = 1600 m^2
.. (44 m)^2 = 1936 m^2 = 1.21*(1600 m^2), an increase of 21% over the original.
.. If you increase the dimensions by 1 unit, the area will increase by (2x+1) square units, where x is the side of the original. For x≠10, this is not 21 square units.
.. (41 m)^2 = 1681 m^2 = 1600 m^2 +(2*40 +1) m^2 = 1600 m^2 +81 m^2
Option D:
The solution to the equation is y = 27.
Solution:
Given equation:
To solve this equation:
Multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation.
3 in the numerator and denominator get canceled.
y = 9 × 3
y = 27
The solution to the equation is y = 27.
Option D is the correct answer.
Let us say that:
K = age of Kristen
B = age of Ben
From the problem, we make the equations:
eqtn 1: K + B = 32
eqtn 2: (K – 4) = 2 (B – 4)
Simplifying eqtn 2:
K – 4 = 2 B – 8
K = 2 B – 4
Plugging in this to eqtn 2:
(2 B – 4) + B = 32
3 B – 4 = 32
3 B = 36
B = 12
From eqtn 2:
K = 2 B – 4 = 2 (12) – 4 = 20
So Kristen is 20 while Ben is 12.
