Answer: -9

Step-by-step explanation: You are not doing 3(-2) to get -6. That's incorrect. What you are supposed to do is multiply the base which is 3 and then multiply it with -2 so that would 3(3) twice and don't forget the negative in front of the two so that would be -9 as the correct answer. :)

A square patio has an area of 200 square feet. How long is each side of the patio to the nearest tenth?

Darya [45]

If patio is square it means that area of if is $A=a^2$ where a is one side
Now we can substitute A=200 and solve eq
$a^2=200$
a= $\sqrt{200}$
a=14.1421
Now we are rounding to the nearest tenths
a=14.1 because next number is 4 and is less then 5.
The result is 14.1
