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
Answer B would be the best answer because it states how the prices differ and the 1 Liter bottle is able to go into the 2 liter bottle almost two times. Answer A could also be correct but B is more descriptive.
Answer:
10.31 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we multiply 1.3 x 2 because he is gaining 1.3 for the next TWO weeks.
1.3 x 2 = 2.6
Now, add 7.71 + 2.6 because that is the weight he started with.
7.71 + 2.6 = 10.31
Her brother will weight 10.31 pounds if he is 7.71 lbs and continues to gain 1.3 pounds each week for two weeks.
To get the answer you divide the cds by 2 because the CD's are 1/2 in thick to get: 26 in
The distance of it away from zero cannot be a negative distance, distance is always positive therefor the absolute value will always be positive.
Short answer: no, absolute value is always positive
I hope this helps :)
