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.

If the tree grows an additional 10 feet, what is the new angle of
avanturin [10]

Answer:

  B)  47.1°

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent relation is useful here.

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

The original height of the tree is the side of the triangle that is opposite the angle of elevation:

  Opposite = Adjacent × Tan

  original height = (25 ft)×tan(34°) ≈ 16.863 ft

__

After growing an additional 10 ft, the tree has a height of ...

  16.863 ft + 10 ft = 26.863 ft

Then the angle of elevation is found from ...

  tan(angle) = (26.863 ft)/(25 ft) ≈ 1.07451

  angle of elevation = arctan(1.07451) ≈ 47.057°

The angle of elevation to the top of the tree is about 47.1°.
