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}

Y = -0.01x^2 + 0.5x + 3

when the height y = 8 
-0.01x^2 + 0.5x + 3 = 8
-0.01x^2 + 0.5x - 5 = 0

x =  13.82 and x = 36.18 so the ball is at least 8 ft high   from 13.82 and 36.18 feet inclusive.- from the player.

If the player is 30 ft from the net then the ball is likely to go over the net.
