Answer:

The answer is 120 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the field (A) is:

A = w · l       (w - width, l - length)

It is known:

A = 12,000 ft²

l = w - 20

So, let's replace this in the formula for the area of the field:

12,000 = w · (w - 20)

12,000 = w² - 20

⇒ w² - 20w - 12,000 = 0

This is quadratic equation. Based on the quadratic formula:

ax² + bx + c = 0      ⇒  

In the equation w² - 20w - 12,000 = 0, a = 1, b = -20, c = -12000

Thus:

So, width w can be either

or

Since, the width cannot be a negative number, the width of the field is 120 feet.

Answer:

L = 120 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

W = L-20

W x L = 12000

(L-20) x L = 12000

L^2 -20L -12000 = 0

(L + 100)(L - 120 ) = 0

L = 120 ft

W = 100 ft

11. x = 10, so DCE is 72. You get the measurement of x by adding 7x + 2 and x + 8 to equal 90. When you get x, you plug it in to the equation for DCE.

12. x = 17. KNM is 131. Get the measurement of x by adding both equations again, this time equaling it to 180 since it is a straight line and doesn't have a right angle. Plug in the x to the equation for KNM.

jasenka [17]

Answer:

882 ,  252 ,  441

Step-by-step explanation:

There are some mistakes in question and the corrected one is written below:

Q. Last Sunday 1,575 people visited the amusement park. 56% of the visitors were adults, 16% were teenagers, and 28% were children ages 12 and under. Find the number of adults, teenagers, and children that visited the park.

Given:

Total number of people visited amusement park = 1,575

Percent of adult people = 56%

Percent of teenagers = 16%

Percent of children = 28%

Now, we have to find number of adults, teenagers, and children that visited the park last Sunday.

Solution:

Number of adults = 56\%\ of \ 1575=\frac{56}{100}\times1575= \frac{88200}{100} =882\ adults

Number of teenagers = 16\%\ of\ 1575=\frac{16}{100} \times1575=\frac{25200}{100} =252\ teenagers

Number of children = 28\%\ of\ 1575=\frac{28}{100} \times1575=\frac{44100}{100} =441\ children

Therefore, the number of adults are 882 , teenagers are 252 , and children are 441 that visited the park last Sunday.
