Built-up area

John build-up area 5 x 7 = 35 m2 with building with a wall thickness 30 cm. How many centimeters would he have to subtract from the thickness of the walls that the built-up area fell by 9%?

Correct answer:

x =  13.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a=5\m b=7\m (a2x)(b2x)=(19/100)ab 4x2+x(2a2b)+ab9/100=0  4x224x+3.15=0  a=4;b=24;c=3.15 D=b24ac=242443.15=525.6 D>0  x1,2=2ab±D=824±525.6 x1,2=3±2.865746 x1=5.865745976 x2=0.134254024   Factored form of the equation:  4(x5.865745976)(x0.134254024)=0  0<x<30 cm x=13.4 cm
