The dimensions are 40 inches by 55 inches.

Explanation:
We know that perimeter is the sum of all of the sides. Since this is rectangular, opposite sides are equal. This gives us
y+11/8y+y+11/8y=190.

Combining like terms, we have
2y+22/8y=190.

Writing 22/8 as a mixed number, we have
2y+2 3/4y=190
4 3/4y=190.

Divide both sides by 4 3/4:
(4 3/4y)÷(4 3/4)=190÷(4 3/4)
y=190÷(4 3/4).

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
y=190÷(19/4).

To divide fractions, flip the second one and multiply:
y=190*(4/19)=760/19=40.

Since y=40, 11/8y=11/8(40)=440/8=55.

Answer: She needed 144 square feet of carpet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Maria is buying new carpet. Her bedroom is in the shape of a square.

The length of each side is 12 feet.

We know that the area of square = $(side)^2$

So , the area of the bedroom = $(12)^2$ [which is an exponential expression]

Simplify it

The area of the bedroom = $12\times12=144\ \text{ft}^2$

Also, the carpet she needed = Area of the bedroom.

Thus , She needed 144 square feet of carpet.

The very first thing to do in every correlation activity is to plot the gathered data points in a scatter plot. It is better to use software tools like MS Excel because they have a feature there that uses linear regression like that one shown in the picture.

Once you plot the data points, make a trendline. You are given with options. If you want a linear function, then you will have a linear model with a function equation of y = 0.2907x + 2.2643. It has a correlation coefficient of 0.9595. That's a strong correlation already. The R² value tells how good your model fits the data points. If you want to increase the R², a better model would be a quadratic function with the equation, y = -0.0209x²+0.506x+2.0232. As you can see the R² increase even more to 0.9992.
