Answer:

The cross product is created

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportion is simply a statement that two ratios are equal. ... In problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. To find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.

Vector $PQ=(7-5, 3-4)=(2, -1)$ . $4RS=4 \cdot (4-8, 1-6) = 4 \cdot (-4, -5) = (-16, -20)$ . So the sum is $(-14, -21)$ .

For the second, the magnitude is the square root of the sum of the squares of the components. This is equal to $\sqrt{(-14)^2+(-21)^2} = \sqrt{637}=7\sqrt{13}$ .

The width of the pool is 10 feet.

<h3>What is area of rectangle?</h3>

The area of rectangle is product of length and breadth.

Let the width be x.

length = 24 + 2x. and breadth = 12 + 2x

We know, area= 1408 ft².

(12 + 2x)(24 + 2x) = 1408

12*24 + 12*2x + 24*2x + (2x)² = 1408

288 + 72x + 4x² = 1408

4x² + 72x + 288 - 1408 = 0

4x² + 72x - 1120 = 0

x² + 18x - 280 = 0

x² - 10x + 28x - 280 = 0

x(x - 10) + 28(x - 10) = 0

(x - 10)(x + 28) = 0

So, x=10, -28.

Hence, the width be 10 feet.
