The chicken coup at the petting farm is 10 by 14 feet. The farm would like to double the current area
1 answer:
Answer:
14.85 feet & 18.85 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a rectangle with area 10 * 14 = 140 sq. ft.
We want new rectangle to be DOUBLE this area, so that area would be:
140 * 2 = 280 sq. ft.
We will add same amount, x, to both length and width, to get 280. Lets do this and find x. [note: length * width = area]
Area = length * width
280 = (10+x)*(14+x)
280 = 140 + 10x + 14x + x^2
0 = -140 + 24x + x^2
We can solve this by using middle term factorization:
So, we need to add around 4.85 feet to both length and width
New dimensions are 14.85 feet & 18.85 feet

<h2>Explanation:</h2>
A cube is a prism whose sides all have the same length. You can think of a cube like the three dimensional version of a square. In this problem, we know that Mary is using a microscope in order to look at a salt crystal and discovers it is shaped like a cube. Each square face has side length:
This diagram is shown in the first figure below. A crystal's square face is one of the six faces of the cube. So in order to draw it we need to know how many units we'll have in each side. Since we know that 1 unit on the grid represents 0.01mm, then:
So we will have 10 units that measure 0.01mm in each side. This is shown in the second figure below.
