Mario wants to put a rectangular fence around the pool in his backyard. Since one side is adjacent to the house, he will only ne

ed to fence three sides. There is one long side parallel to the house, and two shorter sides. He needs 130 feet of fencing to enclose the pool. The length of the long side is 10 feet less than twice the width. Find the length and width of the pool area to be enclosed.

Answer:

The length and width of the pool area is:

  • Length = 60 feet.
  • Width = 35 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 130-foot fence should enclose only three parts of the pool (two wide and one long), equations are performed to express the information provided.

First an equation that says the total feet in the fence:

  1. X + 2Y = 130 (where X is the length and Y is the width)
  2. X = 2Y-10 (since the length is 10 feet less than twice the width)

With these equations, we proceed to replace the second equation in the first one and solve for Y:

  • X + 2Y = 130
  • 2Y -10 + 2Y = 130
  • 4Y - 10 = 130
  • 4Y = 130 + 10
  • Y = 140/4
  • <u>Y = 35 feet</u>

Since we already know that the width corresponds to 35 feet, we use the second equation to find the value of X:

  • X = 2Y-10
  • X = 2 (35) -10
  • X = 70 - 10
  • <u>X = 60 </u>

With which it is identified that the length is 60 feet.

I am taking my first programming course, so my apologies if this is a dumb question/possibly classified by the wrong category on this site. One of the exercise problems I am working on is the following:

Define a function print_total_inches, with parameters num_feet and num_inches, that prints the total number of inches. Note: There are 12 inches in a foot. Ex:

print_total_inches(5, 8) prints:

Total inches: 68
