Answer:

8\text{ feet}

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: A pool measuring 12 meters by 30 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width. If the area of the pool and path combined is 1288 square meters.

TO FIND: Width of the path.

SOLUTION:

Consider the figure attached.

let the width of the path be =x

Total width of pool including pool =12+2x

Total length of pool including pool =30+2x

Now,

Area of pool and path combined =1288\text{ sq m}

area of pool and path combined =(\text{length})\times\text{width}

                                                      =(30+2x)\times(12+2x)

                     (30+2x)\times(12+2x)=1288

                     {x}^2+21x-232=0

                     solving equation we get x=8\text{ feet}

Hence the width of the path is 8\text{ feet}

zysi [14]
Change the x and y
Then solve for y
X= 8y+1
Subtract 1 from both sides
X-1=8y
Divide by 8
X-1 /8 = y

What is the first quartile (Q1) of the data set?
KATRIN_1 [288]
Sequence = 40, 45, 48, 51, 59, 62, 69, 74

Median = 51+59 / 2 = 55
First quartile = 40, 45, 48, 51 
So, it would be: 45 + 48 / 2 = 46.5

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!
