Answer: New square side length = 19 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Floor area = 228 square feet

Increasing the floor area by 50%

Our new area becomes

$228\times \frac{100+50}{100}\\\\=228\times \frac{150}{100}\\\\=\frac{34200}{100}\\\\=342$

Thus, the side length of the new square will be

$\text{ Area of square }\\\\342=Side\times Side\\\\342=Side^2\\\\\sqrt{342}=Side\\\\18.5=Side\\\\19=Side(\text{ nearest tenth})$

Answer:

18.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the side length of the new addition.

Yael has a garage with a floor space of 228 square feet and intends to expand it by 50%.

The new area would therefore be 228 plus an additional 50% of 228.

Since the area of a square is the square of its side length, we can express this as:

$x\cdot x=228+\frac{50}{100}\cdot 228$

$x^2=228+0.50\cdot 228$

$x^2=228+114$

$x^2=342$

Taking the square root of both sides gives us:

$x=\sqrt{342}$

$x=18.493242$

$x\approx 18.5$

Thus, the side length of the new garage will measure 18.5 feet.

Two functions are shown in the table below. Function 1 2 3 4 5 6 f(x) = −x2 + 4x + 12 g(x) = −x + 6 Complete the table on your o

Svet_ta [12734]

For $\fbox{\begin \\\math{x}=6\\\end{minispace}}$ the function $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ and $g(x)=-x+6$ both yield the same result.

Detailed breakdown:

The functions involved are

$f(x)=-x^{2}+4x+12$

$g(x)=-x+6$

Step 1:

Insert $x=1$ in $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ to find the value of $f(1)$ .

$f(1)=-1^{2} +4(1)+12\\f(1)=-1+4+12\\f(1)=15$

Insert $x=1$ in $g(x)=-x+6$ to find the value of $g(1)$ .

$g(1)=-1+6\\g(1)=5$

Step 2:

Insert $x=2$ in $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ to obtain the value of $f(2)$ .

$f(2)=-2^{2} +4(2)+12\\f(2)=-4+8+12\\f(2)=16$

Substitute $x=2$ into $g(x)=-x+6$ to find the value of $g(2)$ .

$g(2)=-2+6\\g(2)=4$

Step 3:

Replace $x=3$ in $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ to find the value of $f(3)$ .

$f(3)=-3^{2} +4(3)+12\\f(3)=-9+12+12\\f(3)=15$

Also, replace $x=3$ in $g(x)=-x+6$ to find the value of $g(3)$ .

$g(3)=-3+6\\g(3)=3$

Step 4:

Insert $x=4$ in $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ to find the value of $f(4)$ .

$f(4)=-4^{2} +4(4)+12\\f(4)=-16+16+12\\f(4)=12$

Also, replace $x=4$ in $g(x)=-x+6$ to obtain the value of $g(4)$ .

$g(4)=-4+6\\g(4)=2$

Step 5:

Insert $x=5$ in $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ to obtain the value of $f(5)$ .

$f(5)=-5^{2} +4(5)+12\\f(5)=-25+20+12\\f(5)=7$

Replace $x=5$ in $g(x)=-x+6$ to find the value of $g(5)$ .

$g(5)=-5+6\\g(5)=1$

Step 6:

Insert $x=6$ into $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ to find the value of $f(6)$ .

$f(6)=-6^{2} +4(6)+12\\f(6)=-36+24+12\\f(6)=0$

Also, substitute $x=6$ in $g(x)=-x+6$ to obtain the value of $g(6)$ .

$g(6)=-6+6\\g(6)=0$

Step 7:

According to the provided condition $f(x)=g(x)$ .

(a). Insert $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ and $g(x)=-x+6$ into the previously mentioned equation.

$-x^{2} +4x+12=-x+6$

(b). Multiply through by $-1$ on both sides.

$x^{2} -4x-12=x-6$

(c). Move the term $x-6$ to the left side of the equation.

$x^{2} -4x-12-x+6=0\\x^{2} -5x-6=0$

(d). Divide the middle term so that its sum equals 5 and the product equals 6.

$x^{2} -(6-1)x-6=0\\x^{2} -6x+x-6=0\\x(x-6)+1(x-6)=0\\(x+1)(x-6)=0\\x=-1,6$

From the analysis above, it is noted that for $x=6$ both functions $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ yield the same outcome.

Using a direct approach:

$f(x)=g(x)\\\Leftrightarrow-x^{2} +4x+12=-x+6\\\Leftrightarrow-x^{2} +4x+12+x-6=0\\\Leftrightarrow-x^{2} +5x+6=0\\\Leftrightarrow-x^{2} +6x-x+6=0\\\Leftrightarrow x^{2} -6x+x-6=0\\\Leftrightarrow x(x-6)+1(x-6)=0\\\Leftrightarrow(x+1)(x-6)=0\\\Leftrightarrow x=6,-1$

Why might the triangulation method not always produce an exact point (other than any measurement errors)

Zina [12379]

Answer:

The triangulation technique may not always yield a precise result (aside from any errors in measurement) for the following reasons:

It employs a variety of data sources, different researchers, and multiple theories or viewpoints.

Step-by-step explanation:

Research triangulation integrates various methods, data sources, diverse investigators, and assorted theories to develop a deeper insight into the situations being studied. This process fortifies qualitative research by incorporating data from multiple sources, perspectives, and methodologies.

On a website selling books, three paperback books and five hardcover books cost $80.10, and seven paperback books and four hardc

Zina [12379]

To solve this problem, you'll want to substitute the first equation into the second or the other way around. The equations given are: 1. 3 paperback books + 5 hardcover books = $80.10; 2. 7 paperback books + 4 hardcover books = $100.65. It is helpful to rearrange the first equation to find 5 hardcover books = $80.10 - 3 paperback books, leading to hardcover book = $16.02 - 0.6 paperback books. Now, substitute this into the second equation: 7 paperback books + 4 ($16.02 - 0.6 paperback books) = $100.65, which simplifies to 7 paperback books + $64.08 - 2.4 paperback books = $100.65. This results in 4.6 paperback books = $100.65 - $64.08 = $36.57, thus paperback book = $7.95. You can then use this price in the first equation to determine the hardcover book price: 3 paperback books + 5 hardcover books = $80.10, substituting gives 3($7.95) + 5 hardcover books = $80.10, which leads to 5 hardcover books = $80.10 - $23.85 = $56.25, therefore hardcover book = $11.25. Hence, the total cost for one paperback and one hardcover book is $7.95 + $11.25 = $19.20.

Line RS intersects triangle BCD at two points and is parallel to segment DC. Triangle B C D is cut by line R S. Line R S goes th

Zina [12379]

Answer:

The correct statements are;

1) ΔBCD is similar to ΔBSR

2) BR/RD = BS/SC

3) (BR)(SC) = (RD)(BS)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Since RS is parallel to DC, we conclude that;

∠BDC = ∠BRS (Angles formed on the same side of the transversal)

Furthermore;

∠BCD = ∠BSR (Angles formed on the same side of the transversal)

∠CBD = ∠CBD (Reflexive property)

Thus;

ΔBCD ~ ΔBSR by the Angle-Angle-Angle (AAA) similarity criterion.

2) Given that ΔBCD ~ ΔBSR, we obtain;

BC/BS = BD/BR → (BS + SC)/BS = (BR + RD)/BR = 1 + SC/BS = RD/BR + 1

1 + SC/BS = 1 + RD/BR thus, SC/BS = 1 + BR/RD - 1

SC/BS = RD/BR

By inverting both sides we find;

BR/RD = BS/SC

3) From BR/RD = BS/SC, we apply cross multiplication;

BR/RD = BS/SC leads to;

BR × SC = RD × BS → (BR)(SC) = (RD)(BS).
