The school hall is 4 times as long as it is wide. If the perimeter is 55m, what is the length? and what is the width?

-- The width of the school is ' W '. We don't know what that is yet,
but we're going to find out.

-- We're told that the length is 4 times as much. So the length is ' 4 W '.

-- Perimeter is (2 widths) + (2 lengths).

2 widths = 2 W
2 lengths = 8 W
Perimeter = 10 W

-- We're also told that the perimeter is 55m. That's just what we need.

10 W = 55 m

Divide each side of this equation by 10:

W = 5.5 m

There's the width !
The length of the hall is 4 times as much.

Length = 4 W = 22 m

laila [671]

The volume of a cylinder is

   (pi) (radius²) (height) .

Radius = 1/2 diameter.
Radius of this pool = (1/2) (18 ft) = 9 ft

The pool is a cylinder with height of 4.5 feet.
The water in it is also a cylinder, but only 4 ft high.

Volume of the water =

   (pi) x (radius²) x (height)

   = (pi) x (9 ft)² x (4 ft)

   = (pi) x (81 ft²) x (4 ft)

   = (pi) x (324 ft³) = 1,017.9 ft³ .

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Part 1) The function of the First graph is $f(x)=(x-3)(x+1)$

Part 2) The function of the Second graph is $f(x)=-2(x-1)(x+3)$

Part 3) The function of the Third graph is $f(x)=0.5(x-6)(x+2)$

See the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The quadratic equation in factored form is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-c)(x-d)$

where

a is the leading coefficient

c and d are the roots or zeros of the function

Part 1) First graph

we know that

The solutions or zeros of the first graph are

x=-1 and x=3

The parabola open up, so the leading coefficient a is positive

The function is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-3)(x+1)$

Find the value of the coefficient a

The vertex is equal to the point (1,-4)

substitute and solve for a

$-4=a(1-3)(1+1)$

$-4=a(-2)(2)$

$a=1$

therefore

The function is equal to

$f(x)=(x-3)(x+1)$

Part 2) Second graph

we know that

The solutions or zeros of the first graph are

x=-3 and x=1

The parabola open down, so the leading coefficient a is negative

The function is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-1)(x+3)$

Find the value of the coefficient a

The vertex is equal to the point (-1,8)

substitute and solve for a

$8=a(-1-1)(-1+3)$

$8=a(-2)(2)$

$a=-2$

therefore

The function is equal to

$f(x)=-2(x-1)(x+3)$

Part 3) Third graph

we know that

The solutions or zeros of the first graph are

x=-2 and x=6

The parabola open up, so the leading coefficient a is positive

The function is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-6)(x+2)$

Find the value of the coefficient a

The vertex is equal to the point (2,-8)

substitute and solve for a

$-8=a(2-6)(2+2)$

$-8=a(-4)(4)$

$a=0.5$

therefore

The function is equal to

$f(x)=0.5(x-6)(x+2)$
