This is an area problem. The key words are 120 square feet and 12 feet longer.
And of course width is a key word when you are reading this.
Formula
Area = L * W
Givens
W = W
L = W + 12
Substitute and Solve
Area = L* W
120 = W*(W + 12)
W^2 + 12W = 120 square feet
w^2 + 12w - 120 = 0
This does not factor easily. I would have thought that a graph might help but not if the dimension has to be to the nearest 1/100 of a foot. The only thing we can do is use the quadratic formula.
a = 1
b = 12
c = - 120
w = [ -b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac) ]/(2a)
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(12^2 - 4*(1)(-120)] / 2*1
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(144 - (-480)]/2
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(624)] / 2
w = [- 12 +/- 24.979992] / 2 The minus root has no meaning whatever.
w = (12.979992) / 2
w = 6.489995 I'll round all this when I get done
L = w + 12
L = 6.489995 + 12
L = 18.489995
check
Area = L * W
Area = 6.489995*18.489995
Area = 119.999935 The difference is a rounding error
Answer
L = 18.489995 = 18.49 feet
W = 6.489995 = 6.49 feet
Note: in the check if you round first to the answer, LW = 120.0001 when you find the area for the check. Kind of strange how that nearest 1/100th makes a difference.
Answer:
1. Why does the graph not start at zero?
It doesn't start at zero because all ovens start at 350°(probably less, but normally 350°) and not zero degrees.
2. What does it mean when the graph flattens out?
When the graph flattens out, it means that the temperature doesn't increase nor decrease, but instead it remains the same.
Hello there! y < -15
To solve, isolate y. To do this, subtract 30 from both sides of the equation.
y + 30-30 < 15-30
y < -15
This is your final answer. The statement is saying that y must be less than -15 when you add 30 to it for your final answer to be less than 15.
I hope this was helpful and have a great rest of your day! :)
Answer:
<h2>500 cm</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w
where
l is the length
w is the width
From the question we have
We have the final answer as
<h3>500 cm</h3>
Hope this helps you
Adding a zero on the right changes the place value of all the other digits
