Brady made a scale drawing of a rectangular swimming pool on a coordinate grid. The points (-20, 25), (30, 25), (30, -10) and (-

20, -10) represent the corners of the pool. What are the dimensions of the pool?

Answer:

Length = 50 units

width = 35 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A, B, C and D be the corner of the pools.

Given:

The points of the corners are.

A(x_{1}, y_{1}})=(-20, 25)

B(x_{2}, y_{2}})=(30, 25)

C(x_{3}, y_{3}})=(30, -10)

D(x_{4}, y_{4}})=(-20, -10)

We need to find the dimension of the pools.

Solution:

Using distance formula of the two points.

d(A,B)=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}----------(1)

For point AB

Substitute points A(30, 25) and B(30, 25) in above equation.

AB=\sqrt{(30-(-20))^{2}+(25-25)^{2}}

AB=\sqrt{(30+20)^{2}}

AB=\sqrt{(50)^{2}

AB = 50 units

Similarly for point BC

Substitute points B(-20, 25) and C(30, -10) in equation 1.

d(B,C)=\sqrt{(x_{3}-x_{2})^{2}+(y_{3}-y_{2})^{2}}

BC=\sqrt{(30-30)^{2}+((-10)-25)^{2}}

BC=\sqrt{(-35)^{2}}

BC = 35 units

Similarly for point DC

Substitute points D(-20, -10) and C(30, -10) in equation 1.

d(D,C)=\sqrt{(x_{3}-x_{4})^{2}+(y_{3}-y_{4})^{2}}

DC=\sqrt{(30-(-20))^{2}+(-10-(-10))^{2}}

DC=\sqrt{(30+20)^{2}}

DC=\sqrt{(50)^{2}}

DC = 50 units

Similarly for segment AD

Substitute points A(-20, 25) and D(-20, -10) in equation 1.

d(A,D)=\sqrt{(x_{4}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{4}-y_{1})^{2}}

AD=\sqrt{(-20-(-20))^{2}+(-10-25)^{2}}

AD=\sqrt{(-20+20)^{2}+(-35)^{2}}

AD=\sqrt{(-35)^{2}}

AD = 35 units

Therefore, the dimension of the rectangular swimming pool are.

Length = 50 units

width = 35 units

The tax on a $30 item is $1.20. Find the tax on a $130 item. How do I set this problem up?
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

$5.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the tax rate first:

 $1.20

-------------- = 0.04

 $30.00

The tax rate is 4%.

Then the tax on a $130 item is 0.04($130) = $5.20

What is the length of XQY?
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

88

Step-by-step explanation:

First you must find the circumference of the entire circle and to do this you use 2πr. The radius in this case is PX=15. This means that the circumference is 30π. Now to find the arc length, we know that the measure of arc XY is 23 degrees, and since there are 360 total degrees in a circle, we must subtract 23 from 360 to get 337° as the measure of arc XQY. Now we have to find what portion of the circumference of the circle is in this arc, and to do this you divide the arc length (337°) by 360° and multiply by the circumference of the circle. Doing this would get you \frac{337}{360} *30\pi which equals ~28. Finally, you have to multiply this by the value of pi and get approximately 88, which is your answer.
