Deck=456
Area of pool= length times width=20 times 50=1000

The Area of the deck is made up of 4 rectangles and 4 squares, the rectangles Areas comes in pair.

Areas are 
Area of deck =2(20w)+4(w^2)+2(50w)d
456=2(20w)+4(w^2)+2(50w)
Distribute 
456=40w+4w^2+100w
Add Like Terms
456=4w^2+140w
Divide Everybody By 4
114=w^2+35w
Subtract 114 From Both Sides 
0=w^2+35w-114

Find What Two Numbers Multiply To Get 114 AND ADD TO GET  35 and FACTOR -3 and 38

0=(w-3)(w+38)
Set Each To Zero 
w-3=0
w=3 

w+38=0
w=-38
False since measures in real life cannot be negative therefore width of walkway =3ft
Hope I helped

Use the formula to evaluate the infinite series. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio r  is 1/5 and the first term a1 = (1/5)^(1-1) = 1.

Sum to infinity =  a1 / (1 - r)

=  1 / (1 - 1/5)

= 1 / 4/5

= 5/4

Alla [95]

Answer:

-0.02 gallons per mile

Step-by-step explanation:

You're in luck. The fuel consumption of the car is linear, and the slope - ie, the coefficent of the x term gives you the rate of change. In this case, it's -0.02 gallons per mile.

Sergio039 [100]

1. H+S=40

2. 19H+25S=922

From 1,

19H+19S=760

Subtract this from 2 to eliminate H,

19H+25S-19H-19S=922-760

6S=162

Solve for S, then use either equation to solve for H.
