1. Let's call:
 
 x: the width of the walkway.
 b: 2x+16 (there is a widht "x" of the walkway on each side).
 h: 2x+32  (there is a widht "x" of the walkway on each side).
 A: 924 ft^2 ( the area of the pool of including the walkway).
 
 2. The area of a rectangle is:  
 
 A=(b)(h)
 
 b: the base of the rectangle (2x+16)
 a: the height of the rectangle (2x+32)

 3. Then, we have a quadratic equation:
 
 924=(2x+16)(2x+32)
 4x^2+64x+32x+512-924=0
 4x^2+96x-412=0
 
 4. We apply the quadratic formula to find the value of "x":
 
 x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a
 
 x=3.71
 
 The answer is: The width of the walkway is 3.71 ft

storchak [24]

Answer:

Surface area = 85.84 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the fact that large rectangle  area = 6 x 12 = 72 ft²

Also, the two triangles area => 2(0.5 * base * height) = 2(4 x 3.46 x 0.5) = 13.84 ft²

Hence, the total surface area is

72 + 13.84 = 85.84 ft²

Therefore, the surface area of the fabric is 85.84ft²

sashaice [31]

(8 min) x ( day/1,440 min) x (20 /day) x (365 da/yr) x (35 yr)  = 

      (8 x 20 x 365 x 35) / (1,440)  days =

                (2,044,000) / (1,440)  days =

                             1,419-4/9  days  =  3.89 years

            Rounded to the nearest year:  <em>4 years</em>

At a pack a day for 35years, I would have expected more than
4 years' damage.  But I've checked my math and haven't found
the mistake, so I'll let that be my answer.
