Answer:
x = 4.85 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Original area of the petting farm = 10 × 14
= 140 square feet
.
New area = double the original area = 140 * 2
= 280 square feet
New area of the petting farm =
Width × length
280 = (10+x) × (14+x)
280 = 140 + 10x + 14x + x²
280 - 140 = x² + 24x
140 = x² + 24x
x² + 24x - 140 = 0
Solve the quadratic equation
x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a
= -24 ± √(24)² - 4*1*-140 / 2*1
= -24 ± √ 576 - (-560) / 2
= -24 ± √ 576 + 560 / 2
= -24 ± √1,136 / 2
= -24 ± 4√71 / 2
= -24/2 ± 4√71/2
= -12 ± 2√71
x = 4.8523 or x = -28.8583
x can not be a negative value
Therefore,
x = 4.85 feet to the nearest hundredth
Answer:
4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope this helps :)
It's 248 ft because it increased by 24%, you do 200 ft times 1.24 to get 248 ft.
M<2 = m<3
but
m<1 + m<2 = 180
4x + 36 + <span>3x – 3 = 180
7x + 33 = 180
7x = 147
x = 21
m<2 = </span><span>3x – 3
m<2 = 3(21) - 3
m<2 = 63 - 3
m< 2 = 60
m<3 = m<2 = 60
answer
</span><span>60°</span>
