Answer:

21 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The pool has dimension 15 feet by 17 feet, which is in the form of a rectangle.

The area of the pool = length × width

                                   =  17 × 15

                                   = 255 square feet

Area of the pool and cement walkway = 483 square feet

Area of walkway = area of pool and walkway - Area of pool

                            = 483 - 255

                            = 228 square feet

Let's assume that the cement walkway has equal thickness across its perimeter, so that;

the dimension of the pool and the cement walkway = 23 feet × 21 feet

The width of the cement walkway is 21 feet.

Do 1/3 x 1/2 to get 1/6, or you could think, 1/3 divided by 2, which would equal 1/3 x 1/2

Find the value of x.<br><br> help
Komok [63]

Answer:

X=62

Step-by-step explanation:

X=62 because the side where x is and where the other degree is, they are congruent. And since you have to add 12 it would have to be 62 to be equal to 74.
