----------------------------------------
Define x:
----------------------------------------
Let x be the length of the pool.

Length of the pool and its border = x + 1 + 1
Length of the pool and its border = x + 2

----------------------------------------
Given area = 361 ft², find x:
----------------------------------------
(x+2)² = 361
x+ 2 = √361
x + 2 = 19
x = 19 - 2
x = 17

----------------------------------------
Find Length of the pool:
----------------------------------------
Length of the pool = x = 17 feet

----------------------------------------
Find Area of the pool:
----------------------------------------
Area = 17 x 17 
Area = 289 ft²

------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Area of the pool = 289 ft²
------------------------------------------------------------

17. Julie has $80 in her savings account and plans to save Sr each
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

$8(x + 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression $8x + $80  has two terms. They are $8x and $80.

When you factor an expression, you are looking for numbers that every term in the expression can divide by (and give a whole number).

Just by looking at the terms, you see they both have $ you can factor out. They can both also be divided by 8. This is called taking out a common factor.

$8x + $80     Take out the common factor

= ($8x) / $8 + ($80) / $8

= $8(x + 10)      The common factor goes outside the terms' bracket

This expression can't be factored more because there are no common factors. The binomial also doesn't have square numbers for example, which might make a case where you need to factor further with different methods.

How are prisms and pyramids alike and how are they different?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Prisms and pyramids are  geometric shapes that have flat sides, flat bases and angles. So those are some similarities. However, the bases and side faces on prisms and pyramids differ. Prisms have two bases while pyramids only have one. There are a variety of pyramids and prisms, so not all shapes in each category look the same.
