Holly has a rectangular garden that measures 12 m wide by 14 m long. she wants to increase the area to 255 m? by increasing the width and length by the same amount. what will be the length (longer dimension) of the new garden? enter your answer in the box.

255 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Present area = 12 * 14 = 168 square meters

The area has to increase by a factor of 255 / 168 = 1.5178571429

Therefore, the width and length are increased by a factor of the

square root of 1.5178571429 = 1.2320134508

So the width becomes

12 * 1.2320134508 =  14.7841614091

and the length becomes

14 * 1.2320134508 =  17.2481883107

That's roughly 14.78 by 17.25 and the area equals

14.78 * 17.25 = 255 square meters

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

dalila is incorrect. the whisker on the left is very long, going all the way out to 5. the whisker goes from 5 to 30, so it has a spread of 25. the rest of the box plot values are closer together, so 5 is an outlier
