Let 's x the width of the sidewalk.

Area of the swimming pool= 10*16=160 (ft²)
Area of the sideway+the swimming pool= (16+2x)*(10+2x) =160+155

==>160+20x+32x+4x²=160+155
==>4x²+52x-155=0
Δ=52²+4*4*155=5184=72²
==>x=(-52+72)/2=5/2 or x=a negative to exclude.

Width of the sideway=5/2 ft
so tell me if i helped

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

58.09 degrees C.

Step-by-step explanation:

T(m)=21+74*10^-0.03m

When m = 10 minutes:

T(10) = 21 + 74*10^(-0.03*10)

= 21 + 74*10^(-0.3)

= 58.0879
