A vegetable garden and surrounding path are shaped like a square that together are 10ft wide. The path is 3ft wide. Find the total area of the vegetable garden and path.

256

Step-by-step explanation:

since the the path surounds both sides of the garden you have to add 2 x instead of just x

let me show you what i mean. 10=garden width and 3=path width=x

since it is a square, we can calculate the area by taking one side and squaring it so you get (10+2x)^2 which is 16^2 since x is 3, the width of the garden

to do simaler problems just use thei formula (garden length+2path length)^2 or (garden length+2path length)times(garden length+2path length)

x = 10.1

step-by-step explanation:

all of the angles of a tirangle add up to 180º

180 - 65 = 115 (since we already know the value of one angle)

(2x + 7) + (8x + 7) = 115

(combins like terms) 10x + 14 = 115

(isolate the variable subtract 14 from both sides): 10x = 101

(find the variable divide both sides by 10): x = 101/10

x = 10.1

distance covered by pamela in 9 l of fuel = 99km

let us apply unitary method here.

distance covered by pamela in 1 l of fuel =99/9 =11 km

now let us find distance covered by pamela if she has 12 l of fuel.

distance covered in 12 l = distance covered in 1 l of fuel * 12

we know that distance covered by here in 1 l is 11 km.

so distance covered in 12 l of fuel = 11*12 = 132 km.
