Answer:

  • 13.9 ft, 9.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Sandbox has dimensions x and y.

<u>We have:</u>

  • x = y + 4
  • (x + 2)(y + 2) = 189, (one foot grass from both sides adds 2 ft)

<u>Substitute x and solve for y:</u>

  • (y + 4 + 2)(y + 2) = 189
  • (y + 6)(y + 2) = 189
  • y² + 8y + 12 = 189
  • y² + 8y + 16 = 193
  • (y + 4)² = 193
  • y + 4 = √193 (taken positive root only as distance can't be negative)
  • y + 4 ≈ 13.9
  • y = 9.9

<u>Find x:</u>

  • x = 9.9 + 4 = 13.9

andrezito [222]
The colony doubles every hour, the population is equal to
p = 2^t

<span>Where t </span><span>is the time in hours.</span>
We are able to see this because:
2^0 = 1
2^1 = 2
2^2 = 4

Notice that the x coordinate of the graph corresponds to the time, and the y coordinate corresponds to the population.

<span>Thus at t = 9
</span>p = 2^t
p = 2^9
p = 512.

The correct answer is 512.
