ANSWER: L=13; W=9
--Please read this explanation and this will be much easier for you, it took time to type..

Set up variables first. I will lead through how to get the answer.

First get variables. So, what is Perimeter? Perimeter is like so:

P = 2L + 2W = 44ft
Now instead of using P, we'll continue with

2L + 2W = 44 because this can be used to help answer the question better than P.

"Length of the patio is 5 ft less than twice the width"

So it says "length of the patio", so we put

L =

"5 ft less than twice the width"

L = 2W - 5

Now we know what L is, and we can plug this in to our first equation!

2L + 2W = 44
L = 2W - 5

Multiply by 2...
2L = 4W - 10

Plug in...
4W - 10 (2L see?) + 2W = 44

Rearrange...
4W + 2W - 10 = 44

And solve...
=6W - 10 = 44
=6W = 44 + 10
=6W = 54
=6W/6 = 54/6
=W = 9

Now we have W. Plug this into our other equation.

L = 2W - 5
L = 2*9 - 5
L = 18 - 5
L = 13

The length of the patio is 13 ft and the width of the patio is 9 ft.

C. If one cubic foot contains about 7.5 gallons, how many gallons of water are in the pool? (3 points) I Water: gallons 3. A rec
Dominik [7]

Answer:

<u>One Rectangular Pan</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Part C cannot be answered since the dimensions of the pool are not given.  Please check the question.

The cake pans may be compared by calculating the volume of each shape:

Rectangular pan:  Volume = Length x Width x Height

  Volume Rectangle = (13")*(9")*(2") = <u>234 in^3</u>

Round pan:  Volume = \pi r^{2} h

  Volume Round = (3.14)*(4")^2(2") = 100.5 in^3

Two round pans will hold 2*(100.5 in^3) or 201 in^3 of batter

One rectangular pan holds 234 in^3.

Go with the rectangular pan if you want more cake.
