The answer is 2 4/5.........
Let X be the width of the path.
The width of the path would be the width of the pool plus 2x, so 2x +16
The length of the path would be the length of the pool plus 2x, so 2x+22
The total area is 832 square feet.
Area is found by multiplying the length by the width.
So you have:
(2x+16) (2x+22) = 832
Use the Foil Method:
(2x+16) (2x+22) = 4x^2 +76x+352
Now you have:
4x^2 +76x+352 = 832
Subtract 832 from both sides:
4x^2 +76x+352-832 = 0
Simplify:
4x^2 +76x -480
Factor the left side:
4(x-5)(x+24) = 0
Divide both sides by 4:
(x-5)(x+24) = 0
Set both parenthesis to equal 0 and solve for x:
x=5 and x = -24
The width of the path cannot be a negative number, so the width is 5 meters.
I think AB is 3!!
i hope i’m right good luck ,:D
Our brains judge the speed of objects passing by us through the time taken for them to cross our field of view. Those taking a long time could either be nearby and travelling slowly or faster and further away. And in the case of planes, our brains know that the second interpretation is the right one.
