check the picture below.


so, we know the dimensions of the pool, is a 20x10, so its area is simply 200 ft², and we know the walkway is 216 ft², so the whole thing, including pool and walkway is really 200 + 216 ft².


now, as you see in the picture, the dimensions for the combined area is 20+2x and 10+2x, since the walkway is "x" long, therefore,


\bf \stackrel{length}{(20+2x)}\stackrel{width}{(10+2x)}=200+216\implies \stackrel{FOIL}{4x^2+60x+200}=200+216 \\\\\\ 4x^2+60x=216\implies \stackrel{dividing~by~4}{x^2+15x=54} \\\\\\ x^2+15x-54=0\implies (x+18)(x-3)=0\implies x= \begin{cases} -18\\ \boxed{3} \end{cases}


notice, it cannot be -18, since is a positive length unit.

The distance between capeton & Jonesville is 80 miles. The scale on the map is 0.75 in 10 Mi how far part are the cities on
ikadub [295]

Answer:

6 in = 80 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance between Capeton and Jonesville = 80 miles.

Map scale : 0.75 in = 10 miles ; this means 0.75 inches on the map represents 10 miles on land.

Hence, If ;

0.75 inches = 10 miles

x inches = 80 miles

Cross multiply :

10 * x = 80 * 0.75

10x = 60

10x / 10 = 60 / 10

x = 6 inches

Hence,

6 in = 80 miles

A circle has a circumference of 450cm
anzhelika [568]

The circumference of the circle is actually the perimeter ( length of the boundary ) of the circle . And a part of the circle which lies between two distinct points on the circumference of the circle is called an arc . If the length of the arc is less than half the circumference , it is called minor arc and remaining portion which is more than half of the circle ( but natural ) is called major arc .

When these two points , which make the arc are joined separately to the centre of circle , these arms make angle at the centre . This is called the angle subtended by the arc at the centre of the circle .

There is a beautiful logical relation exists between arc length and the angle , the arc makes ( subtends ) at the centre of the circle . This relation is as under , the wholle circle subtends an angle of 360 degree at the centre . Half the circumference subtendr 360 / 2 ie 180 degree at the centre . The logical relation becomes Arc Length = Circumference × angle in degrees it ( the arc ) subtends at the centre of the circle / 360 degree . So the answer is very simple :- The Arc Length = 36 × 90 / 360 or 9 units ( may be centimetres or metres or inches , feet , yards , etc ) . Which is definitely length of the minor arc . The length of the major arc ( remaining portion of the circumstance ) is 36 - 9 = 27 units . Hence the required answer of the sum is 9 units .
