You have a pool that measures 8 yards by 10 yards. You want to build a deck around all four sides of the pool and you want to in

crease the total area to 120 square yards. The deck is the same width on both sides forming a perfect rectangle. What is the width of the deck?

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

Which statement is true?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

An irrational number may show terminating digits after the decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

Examples of Rational Numbers

Number 9 can be written as 9/1 where 9 and 1 both are integers.  0.5 can be written as ½, 5/10 or 10/20 and in the form of all termination decimals.  √81 is a rational number, as it can be simplified to 9 and can be expressed as 9/1.  0.7777777 is recurring decimals and is a rational number

Examples of Irrational Numbers

Similarly, as we have already defined that irrational numbers cannot be expressed in fraction or ratio form, let us understand the concepts with few examples.

5/0 is an irrational number, with the denominator as zero.

π is an irrational number which has value 3.142…and is a never-ending and non-repeating number.

√2 is an irrational number, as it cannot be simplified.

0.212112111…is a rational number as it is non-recurring and non-terminating.

There are a lot more examples apart from above-given examples, which differentiate rational numbers and irrational numbers.

Properties of Rational and Irrational Numbers

Here are some rules based on arithmetic operations such as addition and multiplication performed on the rational number and irrational number.

#Rule 1: The sum of two rational numbers is also rational.

Example: 1/2 + 1/3 = (3+2)/6 = 5/6

#Rule 2: The product of two rational number is rational.

Example: 1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6

#Rule 3: The sum of two irrational numbers is not always irrational.

Example: √2+√2 = 2√2 is irrational

2+2√5+(-2√5) = 2  is rational

#Rule 4: The product of two irrational numbers is not always irrational.

Example: √2 x √3 = √6 (Irrational)

√2 x √2 = √4 = 2 (Rational)

Classify each pair of angles listed below as adjacent or vertical.
Roman55 [17]

Given:

Intersecting lines DA and CE.

To find:

Each pair of adjacent angles and vertical angles.

Solution:

Adjacent angles are in the same straight line.

<u>Pair of adjacent angles:</u>

(1) ∠EBD and ∠DBC

(2) ∠DBC and ∠CBA

(3) ∠CBA and ∠ABE

(4) ∠ABE and ∠EBD

Vertical angles are opposite angles in the same vertex.

<u>Pair of vertical angles:</u>

(1) ∠EBD and ∠CBA

(2) ∠DBC and ∠EBA

Pls help me with this multiple choice !
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

\sin(60)  =  \frac{6 \sqrt{3} }{x}  \\ x =  \frac{6 \sqrt{3} }{ \sin(60) }  = 12 \\  \tan(60)  =  \frac{6 \sqrt{3} }{y}   \\ y =  \frac{6 \sqrt{3} }{ \tan(60) }  =   6
