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

What last number of 18^1000?
amid [387]
The last digit will simply be equal to 8^1000, since the 10 will not have any effect on the units digit.  Take the first few powers of 8, examining only the last digit:
8^1=8
8^2=4
8^3=2
8^4=6
8^5=8
8^6=4

We see that it continues in this pattern.  Powers evenly divisible by 4, therefore, end in 6.  Since 1000 is divisible by 4, 8^1000 ends in 6, so 18^1000 also ends in 6.
