Justin wants to cover the top of a circular swimming pool to keep insects out of the pool. If the diameter of the pool is 20 fee

evablogger [386]

Answer: The area is approximately 314 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Well if the diameter is 20 feet then the radius will be 10 because the radius is half the diameter, and to find the area of a circle, you use the formula

A= $\pi r^{2}$ where A is the area and pi times the radius squared.

We will represent pi by 3.14

A= 3.14* 10^2

A= 3.14 * 100

A = 314

Slav-nsk [51]

Let m be the distance (in miles) she runs in a month
and w be the distance (in miles) she runs in a week

since the total distance she run in a week is one third of what she run in a month, in equation form
w = m/3

to calculate the distance she run in a month,
m = 3w
m = 3(6 miles)
m = 18 miles in a month

How to do this problem??

lorasvet [3.4K]

We know that the sum of the inner angles of any triangle is 180º

72º + (7x + 3)º + (3x + 5)º = 180º
72º + 7xº + 3º + 3xº + 5º = 180
7xº + 3xº = 180º - 72º - 3º - 5º
10xº = 100º
$x^0 = \frac{100^0}{10^0}$
$x^0 = 10\to\:\boxed{\boxed{x = 10^0}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

The sum of the external angle (9y + 1)º with inner angle (3x + 5) = 180 °, Replace the measure of "x" found:

(9y + 1)º + (3x + 5)º = 180º
9yº + 1º + 3xº + 5º = 180º
9yº + 1º + 3.(10)º + 5º = 180º
9yº + 1º + 30º + 5º = 180º
9yº = 180º - 1º - 30º - 5º
9yº = 144º
$y^0 = \frac{144^0}{9^0}$
$y^0 = 16\to\:\boxed{\boxed{y = 16^0}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Answer:
The measures of "x" and "y" are respectively: 10º and 16º
