Answer 1

Answer:

23. Length = 21 feet, Width = 3 feet

24. Larger Angle = 162 degrees, Smaller Angle = 18 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

23.

Let us say:                                                                                                      l ⇒ length of the rectangular pool, w ⇒ width of the rectangular pool

According to the problem we could formulate two equations as such:

2l + 2w = 48,

l = 15 + 2w

Now let us solve for the dimensions;

First convert the two equations to standard form:

2l + 2w = 48,

l - 2w = 15

Using process of elimination:

  2l + 2w = 48

+   l  - 2w = 15

Simplify:

3l = 63,

length = 21 feet

Substitute this value of length into the second equation.....:

21 - 2w = 15

.......And simplify:

-2w = -6,

width = 3 feet

24.

Let us say:                                                                                                      L ⇒ larger angle, S ⇒ smaller angle,

According to the problem we could formulate two equations as such:

L + S = 180,

L = 9S

Now let us solve for the angles;

Let us here use substitution:

(9S) + S = 180

Simplify:

10S = 180,

Smaller Angle = 18 degrees

Substitute this value of the smaller angle into the second equation.....:

L = 9(18)

.......And simplify:

Larger Angle = 162 degrees
