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

Which shows the correct substitution of the values a,b,and c from the equation 0=4x^2+2x-1 into the quadratic formula below
lutik1710 [3]

Given quadratic equation : 0 = 4x^2+2x- 1

Let us apply standard quadratic form 0=ax^2+bx+c

We know, quadratic formula

x = \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

a = 4

b = 2

c= -1

Now we plug in all the values in quadratic formula

x = \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ x = \frac{-2+-\sqrt{2^2-4(4)(-1)}}{2(4)}\\ x = \frac{-2+-\sqrt{18}}{8}.

<h3>The above one is the substitution of values of a,b,c in quadratic formula.</h3>

Find the missing angle.<br> 40°<br> 80°<br> X<br><br> What is the missing angle?
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of angles of triangle = 180°

x + 40 + 80 = 180

      x + 120 = 180     {Subtract 80 from both sides}

                x = 180 - 120

                x = 60°
