Answer: 12.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
108-96=12, so he grew 12 inches.
12/96=0.125,
0.125*100=12.5, 12.5%
W= l - 5 where w = width and l = length
area = 84 = l*w = l(l-5)
l(l-5) = 84
l^2 - 5l - 84 = 0
(l - 12)(l + 7) = 0
l = 12
length = 12 and width = 7

Answer:
a) attached
b) 100 square inches, 1/4 of the total
c) square root of area
d) multiply by 4
Step-by-step explanation:
a) A diagram is attached
__
b) If the total area consists of 4 squares of the same size, then the area of one square will be 1/4 of the total area. 1/4 of 400 square inches is 100 square inches, the area of one square.
__
c) The area of a square is the square of the side length. You find the side length by finding the square root of the area. √(100 in²) = 10 in, the side length of each square.
__
d) The rectangle is 4 squares laid side by side, so its length is 4 times the side length of one square: 4×10 in = 40 in.
