Answer:
9 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both pools are similar, therefore the ratio of their length and width would be equal. That is:
Length of the current swimming pool : length of the new swimming pool = width of the current swimming pool : width of the new swimming pool
Thus, we can set up a proportion as shown below:
Let the width of the new swimming pool be x.
40 : 24 = 15 : x
Cross multiply
Divide both sides by 40
The width of the new swimming that is smaller would be 9 yards.

How much longer is the hypotenuse of the triangle than its shorter leg?
a. 2 ft
b. 4 ft
c. 8 ft
d. 10 ft
Answer : The correct option is, (b) 4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras theorem in ΔACB :
Given:
Side AC = 6 ft
Side BC = 8 ft
Now put all the values in the above expression, we get the value of side AB.
Now we have to calculate the how much longer is the hypotenuse of the triangle than its shorter leg.
Difference = Side AB - Side AC
Difference = 10 ft - 6 ft
Difference = 4 ft
Therefore, the 4 ft longer is the hypotenuse of the triangle than its shorter leg.
