Area = perimeter + 132.  

Let  each side of the city be x miles long, then:-

x^2 = 4x  + 132
x^2 - 4x - 132 = 0

x  =  [-(-4) +/- sqrt((-4)^2 - 4 * 1 *-132)] / 2

x = 13.66, -9.66   We ignore the negative

So the city  has dimension of 13.66 * 13.66

13.7 * 13.7   to nearest 10th

Stu hiked a trail at an average rate of 3 miles per hour. He ran back on the same trail at an average rate of 5 miles per hour.
Andrews [41]
3t = 5(3-t)
3t = 15 - 5t
3t + 5t = 15
8t = 15
t = 15/8
t = 1 7/8 

7/8 * 60 mins = 52.50 minutes

t = 1 hour and 52.5 minutes

It took Stu 1 hour and 52.5 minutes to hike the trail one way.

Under ideal conditions a certain bacteria population is known to double every three hours. Suppose that there are initially 100
lara [203]

Answer:

the estimation of the size of the population after 20 hours is 10159

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the size of the population after 20, hours is shown below;

= 100  2^(20 by 3)

= 10159.36

If we divide 20 by 3 so it would give 6.66 that lies between 6 and 7

So the estimation of the size of the population after 20 hours is 10159

hence, the same is relevant
