(13+2w)*(8+2w)=152
104+26w+16w+4w²-152=0
4w²+42w-48=0

w=(−21+√633)/4≈1(m)

Answer:

Width of the sidewalk is 1.04 m

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular garden plot has a central planting area with dimensions 13m by 8m.

There is a sidewalk around the parameter with a width of w.

So the dimensions of the total area will be (13 + 2w)m by (8 + 2w)m.

Planting area plus sidewalk area is given as 152 m²

Now the total area = Length × width

                        152 = (13 + 2w) × (8 + 2w)

                        152 = 8(13 + 2w) + 2w(13 + 2w) [Distributive law]

                        152 = 104 + 16w + 26w + 4w²

                        152 = 4w² + 42w + 104

                        4w² + 42w + 104 - 152 = 0

                        4w² + 42w - 48 = 0

                        2w² + 21w - 24 = 0

w = \frac{-21\pm \sqrt{(21)^{2}-4(2)(-24)}}{2(2)}

   = \frac{-21\pm \sqrt{441+192}}{4}

   = \frac{-21\pm \sqrt{633}}{4}

   = \frac{-21\pm 25.15}{4}

   = 1.04 meters

Therefore, width of the sidewalk is 1.04 m

Given:
diamong [38]

Answer:

10-5\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the attached figure, right angled \triangle MDL has an inscribed circle whose center is I.

We have joined the incenter I to the vertices of the \triangle MDL.

Sides MD and DL are equal because we are given that \angle M = \angle L = 45 ^\circ.

Formula for <em>area</em> of a \triangle = \dfrac{1}{2} \times base \times height

As per the figure attached, we are given that side <em>a = 10.</em>

Using pythagoras theorem, we can easily calculate that side ML = 10\sqrt{2}

Points P,Q and R are at 90 ^\circ on the sides ML, MD and DL respectively so IQ, IR and IP are heights of  \triangleMIL, \triangleMID and \triangleDIL.

Also,

\text {Area of } \triangle MDL = \text {Area of } \triangle MIL +\text {Area of } \triangle MID+ \text {Area of } \triangle DIL

\dfrac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 10 = \dfrac{1}{2} \times r \times 10 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times r \times 10 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times r \times 10\sqrt2\\\Rightarrow r = \dfrac {10}{2+\sqrt2} \\\Rightarrow r = \dfrac{5\sqrt2}{\sqrt2+1}\\\text{Multiplying and divinding by }(\sqrt2 +1)\\\Rightarrow r = 10-5\sqrt2

So, radius of circle = 10-5\sqrt2
