1. Rick renovated his home. He made his bedroom 40% larger (length and width) than its original size. If the original dimensions were 144 inches by 168 inches, how big is his room now if measured in feet?

New dimension: 16.8 feet by 19.6 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The original dimensions of the room were 144 inches by 168 inches. Rick renovated his home. He made his bedroom 40% larger than its original size.

40% of 144 = 57.6

New length is 144 + 57.6 = 201.6 inches

40 % of 168 = 67.2

New breadth is 168 + 67.2 = 235.2 inches

Since, 1 foot = 12 inch

201.6 inches = 16.8 feet

235.2 inches = 19.6 feet

The new dimension of the room is 16.8 feet by 19.6 feet.

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.
