Answer:  The length of all three sides of the reflecting pool are 8 feet , 17 feet and 16 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let sides along the building be 'x',  then the measure of hypotenuse = x+9 and the measure of third side = 7+x

Since , the reflecting pool is shaped like a right triangle.

Then , by using Pythagoras theorem , we have

(x+9)^2=x^2+(x+7)^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+81+18x=x^2+x^2+49+14x\ \ [\text{Using }(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab ]]\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+81+18x=2x^2+49+14x\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-4x-32=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-8x+4x-32=0\\\\\Rigtarrow\ x(x-8)+4(x-8)=(x-8)(x+4)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=8\ or -4

But length cannot be negative , it means x= 8

Now, the length of side along building = 8 feet

Length of hypotenuse = 9+8 =17 feet

Length of third side = 8+7= 16 feet

Ms. Allen asked each of her 30 students to select their favorite type of music. How many students chose Rock 1/3 chose hip hop 1
dalvyx [7]

Answer: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction that choose hip hop= 1/3

Fraction that choose rap = 1/5

Fraction that choose rock will be:

= 1 - (1/3 + 1/5)

= 1 - (5/15 + 3/15)

= 1 - 8/15

= 7/15

Number of students that choose rock will be:

= 7/15 × 30

= 7 × 2

= 14 students

We then multi
