----------------------------------------
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
------------------------------------------------------------

If John's home is worth $145,300, how much is his coverage for living expenses if insurance covers 20 percent?
suter [353]
145,300 X .2 = 29,060

you multiply .2 because that is equal to 20% in decimal form, and you are finding out how much the insurance covers

therefore your answer would be 29,060 dollars

A, B , and C are collinear points: B is between A and C. If AB = 36, BC = 5x - 9 , and AC = 54 , find x
balandron [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 5.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment sum theorem tells you ...

  AB +BC = AC

  36 +(5x -9) = 54

  5x = 27 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 27 from both sides

  x = 5.4 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

Which expression is equivalent to xy^((2)/(9))?
bonufazy [111]
Pretty sure it's D. When you have a fractional exponent, the root number is always on the bottom, while the exponent on the top. Since x and y are not grouped together in a parentheses, we can assume that only "y" is being raised to the 2/9 power. That means "x "will stay out in front and y will be in the 9th root being raised to the 2nd power.

List the integers that satisfy both of these inequalities 2x+9<0 x>-12 put the answers on one line
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

<em>-11, -10, -9, -8, -7, -6 and -5 </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality expressions

2x+9<0  and x>-12

2x+9<0

2x< 0-9

2x < -9

x < -9/2

x < -4.5

Since x >-12

-12 < x

Combining both inequalities

-12 <x  < 4.5

<em>The integers between the intervals are -11, -10, -9, -8, -7, -6 and -5 </em>
