The initial dimenssions of the park lot are:
length: 140 ft
width: 90 ft
initial area: 140 * 90 = 12,600 ft^2
Area increased 29% = 12,600 * 1.29 = 16,254 ft^2
width of the strips: x
New length: 140 + x
New width: 90 + x
New area: (140+x)(90+x) = 16,254
Solution of the equation:
12600 + 230x + x^2 = 16254
=> x^2 + 230x - 3654 = 0
Use the quadratic formula.
x = {-230 +/- √[ 230^2 - 4*1*(-3654) ]} / 2 =
x = 14.92
The other solution is negative so it is discarded.
Answer: 15 ft
The scale factor for the first one is 2.25
And for the second one it’s 7
I hope this helps :)
Answer:
10 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
45 pages per 1 hour and 30 minutes, or 60 min +30 min =90 min
90 minutes / 45 pages has to be equal to an equivalent fraction where we have 300 pages
90 minutes /45 pages = ? minutes / 300 pages , multiply both sides by 300
? minutes = 90*300/45 = 600 minutes
to read 300-page book will take 600 minutes = 10 hours
Since it is under 985,000, you would round it down. So your answer rounded to the nearest ten thousand would be 980,000
