Given:
pool length : 10 yards
pool width : 8 yards

Area = 10 yds * 8 yds = 80 yd²

(10 + 2x)(8 + 2x) = 120 
10(8 + 2x) + 2x(8+2x) = 120
80 + 20x + 16x + 4x² = 120
4x² + 36x + 80 - 120 = 0
4x² + 36x - 40 = 0
4(x² + 9x - 10) = 0
4(x + 10)(x - 1) = 0

x + 10 = 0
x = -10
x - 1 = 0 
x = 1

the width of the deck is 1 yard

A^2 +a-6. You use the method of foiling where you multiply the first two terms, the the outside terms, the inside terms, then the last terms. You would do a•a, then a•-2 the a•3 then 3•-2. You would get a^2 -2a +3a -6. Then combine like terms to get your answer.

Answer:

Rise: 200.25

Descent 300.2

Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

A)        We are using the Pythagorean theorem for the climb and descent. (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

For climb a = 200, b = 10 c = ?

200^2 + 10^2 = c^2 = 40000 + 100 = c^2 = 40100 = c^2

c = about 200.25

For the descent: a = 300, b = 10

300²+10² = c²

90000 + 100 = c²

90100 = c²

c = about 300.2

B) If a plane is going 600 km/h and it goes about 10 km that means the plane is only going for 10/600 of an hour.

10/600 is 1/60, so only a couple minutes difference.
