The width of the pool is 10 feet.

<h3>What is area of rectangle?</h3>

The area of rectangle is product of length and breadth.

Let the width be x.

length = 24 + 2x. and breadth =  12 + 2x

We know, area= 1408 ft².

(12 + 2x)(24 + 2x) = 1408

12*24 + 12*2x + 24*2x + (2x)² = 1408

288 + 72x + 4x² = 1408

4x² + 72x + 288 - 1408 = 0

4x² + 72x - 1120 = 0

x² + 18x - 280 = 0

x² - 10x + 28x - 280 = 0

x(x - 10) + 28(x - 10) = 0

(x - 10)(x + 28) = 0

So, x=10, -28.

Hence, the width be 10 feet.

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

I answered the questions but that formatting is very confusing and discourages anyone for trying to answer.

The last question is confusing. If I got it wrong, tell me. I will try to answer in the comment section then.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kayson is looking at two buildings, building A and building B, at an angle of elevation of 73°. Building A is 30 feet away, and building B is 35 feet away. Which building is taller and by approximately how many feet?

$\text{tan}\theta=\frac{h_{A}}{30} \Rightarrow h_{A}=\text{tan}73\º \cdot 30 \Rightarrow h_{A}\approx 98.12 \text{ feet}$

$\text{tan}\theta=\frac{h_{B}}{35} \Rightarrow h_{B}=\text{tan}73\º \cdot 35 \Rightarrow h_{B}\approx 114.47 \text{ feet}$

\text{Difference} \approx 16.35

Building B is around 16.35 feet taller than building A.

A Look at the figure below: an image of a right triangle is shown with an angle labeled y If sin y° = a divided by 6 and tan y° = a divided by b, what is the value of cos y°?

$\text{sin}(y)=\frac{a}{6} $

$\text{tan}(y)=\frac{a}{b} $

a is the opposite side; 6 is the hypotenuse; b is the adjacent side.

Therefore,

$\text{cos}(y)=\frac{b}{6} $

If sin f° = eight ninths and the measure of segment YW is 24 units, what is the measure of segment YX? triangle XYW in which angle W is a right angle, angle X measure f degrees, and angle Y measures d degrees.

This seems a bit confusing. The angles don't match. We have 90\º+62\º +21\º \approx 173\º

\text{sin}(f)=0.888...

f \approx 62\º

YX is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

$\text{cos}(21\º)=\frac{24}{YX} $

YX \approx 25.7

Considering f \approx 69\º

$\text{sin}(69\º)\approx\frac{24}{YX} $

YX \approx 25.7

The nile river, the longest river in the world, is 66.7x100 kilometers long. What is the nile's length?
kvasek [131]

Well if you multiply 66.7 x 100 you get 6,670.0. When multiplying by numbers like 10, 100, 1,000, etc, just simply transfer the 0's. So in this case, there are 2 0's in 100, so you add 2 of the 0's behind 66.7.  So when you add the 2 of the 0's you get 6,670.0 which should be your answer.

Ipatiy [6.2K]
True, because if you add pi (3.14) to 0, you get the result 34.234, which is also the result of the formula which is used to shrink the dilation AND the pre-image.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

11 games

Step-by-step explanation:

17+6=23

23/2=11.5

Victoria can play 11 games. You'd usually round up, but in this case you can't play half a game so she'll play 11 games and have one quarter leftover.
