Response: a) 
b) The area has grown by 0.75 square meters.
Detailed breakdown:
Let the room's length be l
Let the room's breadth be 'b'
The area of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:

Per the problem, the room's new area equals 175% of its old area.
Thus, a) The new area of the room is determined as

This indicates a 175% increase in the room's length, resulting in a 175% increase in area.
b) The increase in square meters for Megan's room area is

Response:
6.48
Detailed explanation:
The calculation required to determine the number of tiles for the border is presented below:-

Here,
The length measures 2.02 m
And the width is 1.22
Substituting these dimensions into the formula provided above
Consequently, the total number of tiles necessary to create the border is


= 6.48
Hence, to find the tiles required for the border, we utilized the aforementioned formula.
Response with clarification:
Let p denote the proportion of adults in the town who have encountered this flu strain.
According to the provided information

∵
this is a two-tailed test.
Test statistic:

, where p= denotes the population proportion
= signifies the sample proportion
n= represents the sample size
Setting n= 6 and
and p=0.08


P-value for the two-tailed test:[2P(Z>|z|)
=2P(Z>|-0.415|)
=2P(Z>0.415) = 2[1-P(Z≤0.415)] [∵ P(Z>z)=1-P(Z≤z)]
=2(1-0.6609) [from the z-table]
=0.6782
Decision: Because the p-value(0.6782) exceeds the significance level of 0.01, we do not reject the null hypothesis.
This leads us to conclude that there is insufficient evidence to back the assertion that the percentage of all adults in this town exposed to this flu strain deviates from the national average of 8%.
Solution:
x=8
Detailed explanation:
This isosceles triangle consists of two right triangles with sides equal to 8,
, and y
Considering we possess two sides of a right triangle, determining the third side can be achieved using the Pythagorean Theorem

Because it is an isosceles triangle, these two right triangles are the same, thus x=2y
Hence, x=2(4)=8
