Answer:
$255
Step-by-step explanation:
As, the area of the pool bottom = length x breath
= 20 x 15 = 300 square foot
So for painting
Per square foot = $0.85
So for 300 square foot = $0.85 x 300
= $255
72:80
9:10
Divide 72 and 80 by 8 to simplify it and get the ratio
Let the length of the 1st line segment = x
then the length of the second line segment = 4x + 5
The difference in their lengths = 35
so 4x + 5 - x = 35 ... [longer - shorter = 35]
3x = 30
x = 10
so the shorter (1st) line segment is 10 cm long
and the longer (2nd) line segment is 4 * 10 + 5 = 45 cm long
