Answer:

12  and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x= length

If you draw a rectangle.  two sides would be the length x.  The other two sides would be (x-9).

(length)(width) = Area

(x)(x-9) = 36

x^2 - 9x = 36 Substitute in x and x-9 for the length and width

x^2 - 9x - 36 =0  Subtract 36 from both sides

(x-12)(x+3) = 0   We are looking for 2 number that add to -9 and mult. to -36

x-12=0 and x+3=0  Set both factors to 0 and solve

x = 12 and x =-3.  It does not make sense that a length could be -3 so we reject that answer.  If the length is 12, then the width is 3

The average swimming pool has a water capacity of 375,000 liters. Use dimensional analysis to show how many milliliters of water
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

375,000,000 milliliters of water is in the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know

1 liters = 1000 milliliters

hence to convert liter in to milliliter we have to multiply the liter unit  with 1000 to get the milliliter

we have to find value of 375,000 liters in milliliters

to get that we multiply both side by 375,000

1* 375,000 liters = 1000* 375,000 milliliters

thus,

375,000 liters = 375,000,000 milliliters

thus, there is 375,000,000 milliliters of water is in the pool.
