Answer:

About 5 hr 10 min  

Step-by-step explanation:

rate 1   = 1  pool / 9 hrs          rate 2 = 1 pool / 12 hours

now find the time with both rates combined

1 pool / ( 1/9 + 1/12)  =   1/ (7/36)  =   36/7 hr  = 5 1/7 hr = 5 hr 8.6 min

Jordans have a rectangular garden. want to build a diagonal pathway across he garden. the length of pathway is 90 ft. width of g
blondinia [14]
So we see the pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2=c^2
diagonal=c
width=a or b, pick one
width=a
legnth=b
width is 5 times more than 2 times legnth of garden
w=5(2legnth)
this doesn't make sense since the legnth is normally longer than the width, but we'll stick with that
w=5(2l)
w=10l
a=10b
(10b)^2+b^2=90^2
100b^2+b^2=8100
101b^2=8100
divide by 101
b^2=80.198 aprox 80.2
square root
8.95533
legnth of garden =8.96
to find width subsitue
w=10l
w=89.56

legnth=8.96
width=89.56
