Emma's square patio below has been area=31 sq ft. she decides to decrease one dimension by 1 foot and decreases the other dimension by 4 feet. do not use decimal approximations. what are the dimensions?

4.57ft  by 1.57 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Emma's square patio has been area=31 sq.ft

One dimension decrease by 1 foot and other dimension decrease by 4 feet.

We have to find the new dimensions of Emma's patio.

Let x be the side of Emma's square patio

We know that

Area of square=

ft

One dimension= ft

other dimension=

Hence, the new dimension of Emma's patio is given by

4.57ft  by 1.57 ft

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)
