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

sergey [27]

Answer:

<em>x</em>=28, <em>y</em>=12

Step-by-step explanation:

The squiggly symbol? This means the shapes/angles are congruent, meaning that if you rotated them around, they would match.

x's match runs along the same line as it's match, and same goes for y's. Imagine rotating around the lower triangle and lining it up with the upper triangle.
