Answer:

about 14.142ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A square has four equal sides.

The area of a square: length * width = area

Because you know that all of the sides are equal, you can just say:

length * length = area

Multiplying a value (in this case, length) by itself is the same thing as squaring it. So, you can simplify the equation further by writing:

length² = area

Fill in what you know:

length² = 200ft²

Now, work the problem backwards by taking the square root of 200 to find the length:

√length² = √200ft²

length = 14.142ft

So, each wall is 14.142ft long

You can test this by working the problem in reverse:

14.142ft * 14.142ft ≈ 200ft²

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:
= 29/12 − -13/6

= ((29 × 6) − (-13 × 12)) / (12 × 6) 

= (174 - -156) / 72

= 330/72

= 55/12

= 4 7/12

Answer: 2x^2-7x-15

Step-by-step explanation:

reorder the terms (x*2+3)*(x-5)

multiply the parentheses

(2x+3)*(x-5)

collect like terms (2x^2-10x+3x-15)

product= 2x^2-7x-15

Please help me I need this question done by tonight. The amount that a consultant charges for her work can be modeled using a li

nataly862011 [7]

Answer: The consultant earn $50 each hour.

Explanation:

It is given that for 4 hours of work, the consultant charges $400. For 5 hours of work, she charges $450. The amount that a consultant charges for her work can be modeled using a linear function.

If the linear function represents the amount earn by consultant in hours the the coordinates can be written as (4, 400) and (5, 450).

If we want to find how much money does the consultant earn each hour, so first we have to find the slope of linear function which passing through two points (4, 400) and (5, 450).

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
