1. Let's call:
x: the width of the walkway.
b: 2x+16 (there is a widht "x" of the walkway on each side).
h: 2x+32 (there is a widht "x" of the walkway on each side).
A: 924 ft^2 ( the area of the pool of including the walkway).
2. The area of a rectangle is:
A=(b)(h)
b: the base of the rectangle (2x+16)
a: the height of the rectangle (2x+32)
3. Then, we have a quadratic equation:
924=(2x+16)(2x+32)
4x^2+64x+32x+512-924=0
4x^2+96x-412=0
4. We apply the quadratic formula to find the value of "x":
x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a
x=3.71
The answer is: The width of the walkway is 3.71 ft
Answer: I think it’s A because 8x5=40
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
1 step:
n=1, then

So, for j=1 this statement is true
2 step:
Assume that for n=k the following statement is true

3 step:
Check for n=k+1 whether the statement

is true.
Start with the left side:

According to the 2nd step,

Substitute it into the 

So, you have proved the initial statement
