Answer:

W = 4.646 ft

L = 9.292 ft

H = 3.097 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the L is the length, W is the width, and H is the height.

The volume of the pool is:

V = LWH

The area of the pool is:

A = LW + 2LH + 2WH

L = 2W, so substituting:

V = (2W)WH

V = 2W²H

A = (2W)W + 2(2W)H + 2WH

A = 2W² + 4WH + 2WH

A = 2W² + 6WH

Solving for H in the first equation and substituting into the second:

H = V/(2W²)

A = 2W² + 3V/W

Find dA/dW and set to 0.

dA/dW = 4W − 3V/W²

0 = 4W − 3V/W²

4W = 3V/W²

4W³ = 3V

W = ∛(¾V)

V = 1000 gallons or 133.7 ft³.

W = ∛(¾(133.7 ft³))

W = 4.646 ft

So L = 9.292 ft and H = 3.097 ft.

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

20 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m be number of miles.

Laguana's Truck Rentals charges $20 plus $2 per mile.

Total cost of Laguana's Truck = 20+2m         .... (1)

Salvatori's truck rentals charges $3 per mile.  

Total cost of Salvatori's truck = 3m          ... (2)

We need to find the number of hours after that the total cost for both companies will be the same.

3m=20+2m

3m-2m=20

m=20

Therefore, after 20 miles the total cost for both companies will be the same.

What do you think is another example of when a person would need to use credit or borrow money?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

You need money for employees, equipment, office space and much more. Borrowing money to start your practice is often a good idea. The debt is being used to fund something that will likely generate healthy returns, allowing you to safely make the debt payments.

hope this helps :)

An equilateral triangle measures 3½ inches on one side. What is the perimeter of the triangle?
VLD [36.1K]
Since it's an equilateral triangle, all of the angles are the same. Since its perimeter we just need to add. So 3.5+3.5+3.5= 10.5
So the answer is 10.5
