Hi the answer should be 4
3/4 of an hour is 45 minutes. So they spent 3 hours and 45 minutes at the beach. They arrived at 10:30 so just add 3 hours and 45 minutes to their arrival time and you get 2:15pm. They left at 2:15pm
10:30+3:45=14:15
14:15=2:15
Answer:
Length = 16 inches and width = 12inches
Step-by-step explanation:
A = 192 in² . The width is 4 + 1/2x. therefore let x = length
Area = LW
192 = x(4 + 1/2 x)
192 = 4x + 1/2x²
384 = 8x + x² Multiply each term by 2 to make a
384 + 16 = x² + 8x + 16 Complete the square
400 = (x + 4)²

± 20 = x + 4
20 = x + 4 or -20 = x + 4
20 - 4 = x or -20 - 4 = x
16 = x or -24 = x reject the negative amount
Length = 16
width = 4 + 1/2(16); 4 + 8 = 12
