The width of the pathway is 3m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the pathway be 'w'

The area will be 130 square meters

The dimensions of the garden is 10 x 7

Area = (10+w) (7+w)

130 = 70 + 17w + w^2

w^2 + 17w - 60 = 0

w^2 +20w - 3w - 60 = 0

w ( w + 20) - 3 ( w + 20) = 0

(w + 20) (w - 3) = 0

w = -20 ( or) w = 3

w is the width and cannot be negative.

So, w = 3 meters

The width of the pathway is 3m

This is not my answer, someone else answered this question before.

red:green

5:3
5+3=8
8 units
4qt=8 units
divide by 8
0.5qt=1unit
5 unit=red
5*0.5=2.5qt, red=2.5qt
3unit=lime
0.5*3=1.5qt
1.5qt, 2/3 of that is yellow, 1/3 is blue, 1.5 times 2/3=1, 1.5 times 1/3=0.5
result:
2.5qt red
1qt yellow
0.5qt blue

What is the distance between the two points (5, -2) and (-3, 8)?
galben [10]

Answer:

  2√41 ≈ 12.81 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points is conveniently found using the distance formula:

  d = √((x2 -x2)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

  d = √((-3-5)^2 +(8-(-2))^2) = √(64 +100) = 2√41 ≈ 12.81 . . . units
