Two competitive neighbours build rectangular pools that cover the same area but are different shapes. Pool A has a width of (x +

3)m and a length that is 3m longer than its width. Pool B has a length that is double the width of Pool A. The width of Pool B is 4m shorter than its length.
a. Find the exact dimensions of each pool if their areas are the same.
b. Verify that the areas are the same.

<u>Answer: </u>

a)Dimensions of pool A are length = 6.667m and width = 3.667 m and dimension of pool B are length = 7.333m and width = 3.333m.

b) Area of pool A is equal to area of pool B equal to 24.44 meters.

<u> Solution: </u>

Let’s first calculate area of pool A .

Given that width of the pool A = (x+3)  

Length of the pool A is 3 meter longer than its width.

So length of pool A = (x+3) + 3 =(x + 6)

Area of rectangle = length x width

So area of pool A =(x+6) (x+3)        ------(1)

Let’s calculate area of pool B

Given that length of pool B is double of width of pool A.

So length of pool B = 2(x+3) =(2x + 6) m

Width of pool B is 4 meter shorter than its length,

So width of pool B = (2x +6 ) – 4 = 2x + 2

Area of rectangle = length x width

So area of pool B =(2x+6)(2x+2)        ------(2)

Since area of pool A is equal to area of pool B, so from equation (1) and (2)

(x+6) (x+3) =(2x+6) (2x+2)    

On solving above equation for x    

(x+6) (x+3) =2(x+3) (2x+2)  

x+6 = 4x + 4    

x-4x = 4 – 6

x = \frac{2}{3}

Dimension of pool A

Length = x+6 = (\frac{2}{3}) +6 = 6.667m

Width = x +3 = (\frac{2}{3}) +3 = 3.667m

Dimension of pool B

Length = 2x +6 = 2(\frac{2}{3}) + 6 = \frac{22}{3} = 7.333m

Width = 2x + 2 = 2(\frac{2}{3}) + 2 = \frac{10}{3} = 3.333m

Verifying the area:

Area of pool A = (\frac{20}{3}) x (\frac{11}{3}) = \frac{220}{9} = 24.44 meter

Area of pool B = (\frac{22}{3}) x (\frac{10}{3}) = \frac{220}{9} = 24.44 meter

Summarizing the results:

(a)Dimensions of pool A are length = 6.667m and width = 3.667 m and dimension of pool B are length = 7.333m and width = 3.333m.

(b)Area of pool A is equal to Area of pool B equal to 24.44 meters.

A student determined that the area of the segment of c shown above is Asegment = 137.71 ft2. The student's work is shown below.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Option D. The student did not use the correct formula to calculate the area of the segment

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the isosceles triangle

Applying the law of sines

A=\frac{1}{2}(12^{2})sin(60\°)=62.35\ ft^{2}

step 2

Find the area of the sector

The area of the sector is 1/6 of the area of the circle

so

A=\pi r^{2}/6

substitute the value

A=(3.14)(12)^{2}/6=75.36\ ft^{2}

step 3

Find the area of the segment

The area of the segment is equal to the area of sector minus the area of triangle

A=75.36\ ft^{2}-62.35\ ft^{2}=13.01\ ft^{2}

therefore

The student did not use the correct formula to calculate the area of the segment
