<h3>Answer:   x = 7</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

The largest rectangle (composed of the green and yellow sections combined) has area of 11*12 = 132 cm^2.

The yellow region takes up 112 of those 132 sq cm. This must mean the green region takes up 132-112 = 20 cm^2.

The horizontal portion of the green rectangle is 12-x cm. The vertical portion is 11-x cm. We can form the area of the green rectangle as an algebraic expression like so

area = length*width

area = (11-x)*(12-x)

area = 132 - 11x - 12x + x^2 .... apply the FOIL rule

area = x^2 - 23x + 132

Set this equal to the 20 cm^2 we found earlier.

x^2 - 23x + 132 = 20

x^2 - 23x + 132-20 = 0

x^2 - 23x + 112 = 0

We could factor or we could use the quadratic formula. I'll go with the second option.

We'll plug in a = 1, b =  -23, c = 112

x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(-23)\pm\sqrt{(-23)^2-4(1)(112)}}{2(1)}\\\\x = \frac{23\pm\sqrt{81}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{23\pm9}{2}\\\\x = \frac{23+9}{2}\ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{23-9}{2}\\\\x = \frac{32}{2}\ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{14}{2}\\\\x = 16\ \text{ or } \ x = 7\\\\

One of these solutions isn't feasible. Note how if x = 16, then this exceeds both the 11 cm and 12 cm sides. So this x value is not possible.

However, x = 7 is possible.

If x = 7, then the horizontal portion of the green rectangle is 12-x = 12-7 = 5 cm. Also, the vertical portion of the green rectangle would be 11-x = 11-7 = 4 cm. The area then is length*width = 5*4 = 20 cm^2 which matches up with what we got earlier. So the answer is confirmed.

Kayla’s dollhouse has 15.15 square feet downstairs and 6.45 square feet upstairs. What is the estimated total area if you round
Hitman42 [59]

  • The area of Kayla's dollhouse upstairs = 15.15 square feet

  • The area of Kayla's dollhouse downstairs = 6.45 square feet

  • To find the estimated Total area of Kayla's dollhouse, we would apply the Addition Operation

  • The estimated total area is calculated using the formula :

Area of the dollhouse upstairs + Area of the dollhouse downstairs

Rounding to the decimals to the nearest tenth

  • The area of Kayla's dollhouse upstairs to the nearest tenth = 15.2 square feet

  • The area of Kayla's dollhouse downstairs to the nearest tenth = 6.5 square feet

15.2 square feet + 6.5 square feet = 21.7 square feet

The estimated total area of Kayla's dollhouse is  21.7 square feet
