Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If she doubles the area of her lot, it should be 2x^2.
But how do you get that?
The answer is that the sides have now increased to √2x
How did I get that, and why did I choose it?
- The formula for a square's area is s^2
- If you want to double the area, it will be 2 s^2. Now what?
- Take the square root of 2s^2 which is √(2s^2).
- What that means is the side is now √2 s
The answer is 12. Matthew would be 12 & Elizabeth would be 7. 12+7=19. So C is your answer.
If 5 consecutive integers is 205,
then a + b + c + d + e = 205
but also, each integer is separated by a difference of 1
⇒ a + (a + 1) + (a + 2) + (a + 3) + (a + 4) = 205
⇒ 5a + 10 = 205
⇒ 5a = 195
⇒ a = 39
∴ third term = 39 + 2
= 41
