The width of the walkway around the pool will be 2 feet.

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

Let L be the length and W be the width of the rectangle.

Then the area of the rectangle will be

Area of the rectangle = L × W square units

Nicole is building a walkway with a width of x feet to go around a swimming pool that measures 11 feet by 7 feet.

Let a be the width of the walkway.

The area of the pool will be

If the total area of the pool and the walkway will be 165 square feet.

Area of pool = (11 + 2a) x (7 + 2a)

165 = 4a² + 36a + 77

4a² + 36a - 88 = 0

a² + 9a - 22 = 0

a² + 11a - 2a - 22 = 0

(a + 11)(a - 2) = 0

a = -11, 2

The width of the walkway around the pool will be 2 feet.

More about the area of the rectangle link is given below.

The cloth top of the gazebo in Mr. Chang’s backyard has ripped from weathering. He needs to know the area of the cloth so he can
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is A. 60 square feet.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data provided to us for solving the question:

The gazebo in Mr. Chang's backyard, according to the figure, is a square pyramid because its base is a square of 6 feet as length of its sides.

Length of the sides of the base = 6 feet

Slant length = 5 feet

Height = 4 feet

2. How much cloth, in square feet, will Mr. Chang need, assuming he does not need to replace the cloth at the bottom of the figure?

Area of a square pyramid = Base area + 1/2 Perimeter * Slant length

Replacing with the real values, we have:

Area of a square pyramid = 6 * 6 + 1/2 (6 + 6 + 6 + 6) * 5

Area of a square pyramid = 36 + 1/2 (24) * 5

Area of a square pyramid = 36 + 12 * 5

Area of a square pyramid = 36 + 60

Area of a square pyramid = 96 feet ²

3. But remember than Mr. Chang doesn't need to replace the cloth at the bottom of the gazebo.

So we need to subtract the area of the base to the area of the square pyramid:

Area of the square pyramid - area of the base

Area of the base = 6 * 6 = 36 feet ²

96 feet ² - 36 feet ² = 60 feet ²

<u>The correct answer is A. 60 square feet.</u>

Kruka [31]

Given :

Peter velocity , P = 30 mph .

Mitchell velocity , M = 40 mph .

Mitchell leaves 15 min later .

To Find :

If they drive along the same route how long will it take Mitchell to catch Peter.

Solution :

Distance covered by Peter in 15 min .

D = 30\times \dfrac{15}{60}=7.5\ miles

Let , time taken is x .

So , distance covered b them is equal :

7.5+30\times x=40\times x\\\\x=\dfrac{7.5}{10}=0.75\ hours\\\\x=0.75\times 60\ min\\\\x=45\ min

Therefore , time taken by them is 45 minutes .

Hence , this is the required solution .
