Answer:

  • perimeter: 46 ft
  • area: 126 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 3 ft edge is on both sides of the pool, each dimension of the pool is 6 ft shorter than the corresponding dimension of the space. The pool will be 15 ft -6 ft = 9 ft in one direction and 20 ft -6 ft = 14 ft in the other direction.

The perimeter of the pool is the sum of its side lengths:

  P = 9 ft + 14 ft + 9 ft + 14 ft = 2(9 ft +14 ft) = 2(23 ft)

  P = 46 ft

__

The area of the pool is the product of its length and width:

  A = (14 ft)(9 ft) = 126 ft²

The perimeter and area are 46 ft and 126 ft², respectively.

The difference of the present ages of two sister in 5 yrs
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

4 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

let their ages be x and x - 5, then in 4 years their ages will be

x + 4 and x - 5 + 4 = x - 1 , and the product is 104, thus

(x + 4)(x - 1) = 104 ← expand factors on left using FOIL

x² + 3x - 4 = 104 ( subtract 104 from both sides )

x² + 3x - 108 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 12)(x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 12 = 0 ⇒ x = - 12

x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9

However, x > 0 ⇒ x = 9

Thus

Their present ages are 9 and 9 - 5 = 4
