A rectangular pool has dimensions of 40 ft. and 60 ft. The pool has a patio area around it that is the same width on all sides.

If the patio area equals the area of the pool, how wide is the distance from the pool edge to the patio edge? If x represents the width of the patio, then which of the following equations could be used to solve the word problem?

Answer:

Area of pool part = Area of large rectangle - Area of the pool

Area of pool area = Area of the pool = 40 × 60 = 2400 ft²

2400 = Area of large rectangle - 2400

Area of massive rectangle = 2400 + 2400

Area of big rectangle = 4800

Length × width = 4800

From the diagram, we need the length to be [x + x] more than the period of the pool, wherein x is the distance from the pool facet to the patio area.

We also want the width of the huge rectangle to be [[x + x] more than the width of the pool.

Length = 60 + 2x

Width = 40 + 2x

Length × Width = [60+2x] × [40+2x]

4800 = 2400 + 120x + 80x + 4x²

0 = 4x² + 200x - 2400

zero = 4[x² + 50x - 600]

0 = x² + 50x - 600

zero = [x - 60] [x + 10]

x - 60 = 0 OR x + 10 = zero

x = 60 OR x = -10

We can only use the positive price of x for the reason that context is duration.

x = 60

The complete question in the attached figure

let
x-------> <span>the width of the patio

we know that
area of the pool=40*60-----> 2400 ft</span>²

area of the patio=[(40+2x)*(60+2x)]-2400
area of the patio=2400 ft²
so
[(40+2x)*(60+2x)]-2400=2400
2400+80x+120x+4x²-4800=0
4x²+200x-2400=0------> divide by 4 both sides----> x²+50x-600=0

therefore
the answer is
x²+50x-600=0

A stone is thrown upward from ground level. With what minimum speed should the stone be thrown so as to reach a height of 81 fee
butalik [34]
Use the kinematics equation:
v1^2-v0^2=2as
since v1=0 (at height of 81 ft), and a=g=-32.2, substitute values:

0-v0^2=2*(-32.2)(81 ft)
Solve for v0
v0=sqrt(2*32.2*81)=72.2 m/s

-12 + 6x = 6 + 5(x - 2) <br><br> Please help and EXPLAIN
icang [17]

Answer: x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute 5(x) and 5(-2)

-12 + 6x = 6 + 5x + (-10) OR 5x - 10

Flip if you'd like

6x - 12 = 6 + 5x - 10

Combine like terms

6x−12=(5x)+(6+−10)

6x - 12 = 5x - 4

Subtract 5x from both 6 and 5

6x - 5x = 5x - 5x

5x cancels out, so you're left with x, 12, and -4

x - 12 = -4

Add 12 to 12 and -4

12 + 12 = -4 + 12

12 cancels out

-4 + 12 = 8

x = 8

RSB [31]
Notice the picture below

see where that angle is?

check your Unit Circle for that value

also notice, that fractions of \pi are just like grabbing 180 degrees and splitting it, so one third of 180 or \pi is 180/3 or 60 degrees
