Before we start, let’s change length to a different variable. We will call it “y”.
Thus x = 5’ and y = 10’

Based on information from original cornhole opening we know:
(x)*(y) = 50ft^2 also we know y = 2x since 10 feet is twice the amount of 5 feet. Therefore the relationship of x and y can be written as the following (in terms of x only):

(x)*(2x) = 50 or 2x^2 = 50. Check your work to see that solving for x = 5 and y = 10 which matches the given information.

Since the problem states uniform growth of the new opening we can set our equation equal to 84 and solve for new value of x

2x^2 = 84 which gives value of 6.48’ Also from before y = 2x thus new y = 12.96’. Checking would give total area of 83.98’ which is slightly lower due to rounding.

You could also state new value of x would be sqrt of (84/50) since that would be ratio of impact.

Either way the width would increase 1.48’ and length would increase by 2.96’.

29. because you will divide each number of months by 12 to find the number of years. which would mean, 5, 12.5, 16, 45, 50, 72.5. which is crazy. anyhow, i think you find the median in the middle. and yea hope your test goes good
