Answer:
430
Step-by-step explanation:
You add 98+124 which is 222 then add it plus 208 which is 430
Your question to that answer is irrational
The decrease:
125000 - 117500 = 7500
Percentage of decrease = 7500/125000 x 100 = 6%
The total area of pool and border = 361 square feet.
Length of square pool = x
Length of square pool plus border = (x + 1 +1 ) = x + 2
There is 1 foot length on each side on the x length.
The other length of the square pool and border = (x + 2)
Area = (x+2)(x+2)
(x + 2)(x +2) = 361. Let A = x +2
A*A = 361
A² = 361 Take square root of both sides
A = √361
A = 19
A = x + 2 = 19
x = 19 - 2
x = 17
Area of square pool = x*x = 17*17 = 289
Area of the pool = 289 square feet.
I always prefer factoring, if there are simple factors.
There are simple factors here.
x² + 11x + 18 = 0
(x + 2) (x + 9) = 0
The left side is zero if either factor is zero.
First factor:
x + 2 = 0
<u>x = -2</u>
Second factor:
x + 9 = 0
<u>x = -9 </u>
