A builder wants to increase the size of one of his square patios. The patio measures 16 feet on each side. The builder plans to increase each side of the patio to be 125% of its current measure.

How many square feet larger is the area of the new patio than the area of the current patio?

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

so, the area of an original patio is

16×16 = 256 ft²

now, when a side is increased to 125% of its original length, it means the original length is multiplied by 1.25

because the area calculation multiplies 2 sides, that increase factor is introduced twice into this multiplication.

so, it squares regarding the total area.

in other words

area new = 16×1.25 × 16×1.25 = 16² × 1.25² =

= area old × 1.25² = area old × 1.5625 =

= 400 ft²

the new patio area is therefore 400-256 = 144 ft² larger.

Answer 2

Answer:

  144 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The new dimension of the patio is the product of the original dimension and the scale factor. The builder's plans say the new dimension is 125% of the current dimension, so the new side length is ...

  125% × 16 ft = 1.25 × 16 ft = 20 ft

The new patio area is (20 ft)² = 400 ft².

The original patio area is (16 ft)² = 256 ft².

The new patio is 400 -256 = 144 square feet larger than the current patio.

Additional comment

Words like "increase", "larger", "more" and similar can suggest either addition of an amount, or multiplication by a factor. The problem statement must be parsed carefully in order to determine exactly what is meant. There can be some ambiguity when "larger" and "times larger" are used with percentages. (That is not the case here.)

The word "of" almost always means "times" in this context. So "125% of its current measure" means "125% times the current measure." Multiplication by the factor 1.25 is rightly described as an increase.

The difference between 2 supplementary angles is 121.54. What are the angle measures?

Answers

Answer: 150.77 and 29.23

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

Explanation:

x = larger angle

y = smaller angle

x-y = difference of the angles = 121.54

x-y = 121.54 is one equation

x+y = 180 is the other equation since supplementary angles always add to 180 (they form a straight line).

We have this system we're working with

[tex]\begin{cases}x-y = 121.54\\x+y = 180\end{cases}[/tex]

Add the equations straight down.

x+x = 2x-y+y = 0y, the y terms go away121.54+180 = 301.54

We're left with this reduced equation

2x = 301.54

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

x = 301.54/2

x = 150.77

Use this to find the value of y

x-y = 121.54

150.77-y = 121.54

-y = 121.54-150.77

-y = -29.23

y = 29.23

Or we could say

x+y = 180

150.77+y = 180

y = 180-150.77

y = 29.23

---------------

Summary:

x = 150.77 and y = 29.23 are the two angles.

I'll let you check the answers.

Answer:

150.77° and 29.23°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

x = the biggest supplementary angley = the smallest supplementary angle

The sum of the angles is 180*

The difference is 121.54°

The system of equations:

[tex]\left \{ {{x+y=180} \atop {x-y=121.54}} \right.[/tex]

Solve:

Eliminate y by adding vertically[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}x+y=180\\+(x-y=121.54)\end/[/tex] 2x + 0 = 301.542x = 301.54x = 150.77

Now we know what x is, we can plug it into the first equation to solve for y.

x + y = 180150.77 + y = 180y = 29.23

Using the first equation to substitute for y² in the second equation, we get ...

because a right angle measures 90°. so 90° minus 64° is 24°.

Answer:

26°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all degrees in a triangle is 180°.

You already have the value of two angles, 90° and 64°.

Find the area of a circle that has a diameter of 40′.

Answers

Answer:

1256.64

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a circle, the formula is πr2.

R stands for radius, and since the radius of a circle is always half the diameter we can figure this problem out.

If the diameter is 40, the radius is 1/2 of that, so the radius is 20. Now knowing the radius is 20, plug that into our formula and then we'll get the answer.

A = πr2 = π · 20^2 ≈ 1256.63706

Step-by-step explanation:

We can observe one section that is increasing, it is when:

0 ≤ x ≤ 3 (the black section)

or, when x is:

x ∈ (- ∞, 0) ∪ (3, + ∞)

The decreasing intervals of the graphed function are (-∝, -3) and (3, ∝)

How to determine the decreasing interval of the function

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The graphed function

From the graphed function, we can see that

As x increases from -∝ to -3, the value of y decreases As x increases from 3 to +∝, the value of y decreases

How do I explain 1.82 divided by 140.14

Answers

Answer:

  0.012987...(6-digit repeat)

Step-by-step explanation:

You explain it the same way you explain any division of decimal numbers.

The usual procedure is to adjust both numbers so that the divisor is an integer. Here, that is accomplished by multiplying each number by 100. This makes the problem ...

  1.82/140.14 = 182/14014

Now, division proceeds in the usual way. The first non-zero quotient digit will appear in the hundredths place. The quotient is a repeating decimal with a 6-digit repeat. You recognize the repeat as soon as you see 182 as a remainder.
