A rectangular pool has dimensions of 40 ft. and 60 ft. The pool has a patio area around it that is the same width on all sides.I

f the patio area equals the area of the pool, how wide is the distance from the pool edge to the patio edge?

Area of pool edge = Area of big rectangle - Area of the pool

Area of pool edge = Area of the pool = 40 × 60 = 2400 ft²

2400 = Area of big rectangle - 2400
Area of big rectangle = 2400 + 2400
Area of big rectangle = 4800

Length × width = 4800

From the diagram, we need the length to be [x + x] more than the length of the pool, where x is the distance from the pool edge to the patio edge.

We also need the width of the big rectangle to be [[x + x] more than the width of the pool.

Length = 60 + 2x
Width = 40 + 2x

Length × Width = [60+2x] × [40+2x]
4800 = 2400 + 120x + 80x + 4x²
0 = 4x² + 200x - 2400
0 = 4[x² + 50x - 600]
0 = x² + 50x - 600
0 = [x - 60] [x + 10]

x - 60 = 0 OR x + 10 = 0
x = 60 OR x = -10

We can only use the positive value of x since the context is length

Hence, x = 60

Answer:

Let

x-------> the width of the patio

we understand that

region of the pool=40*60-----> 2400 ft²

vicinity of the patio=[(40+2x)*(60+2x)]-2400

place of the patio=2400 ft²

so

[(40+2x)*(60+2x)]-2400=2400

2400+80x+120x+4x²-4800=0

4x²+200x-2400=0------> divide by 4 both sides----> x²+50x-600=0

therefore

the answer is

x²+50x-600=0

Graph parallelogram ABCD on the graph
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: 25 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

We mark the points, A(2,0), B(7,0), C(10,3), D (5,3). on a graph and then joined them to make parallelogram ABCD as provided in the attachment.

Area of parallelogram  = Base x corresponding height

From the figure, base AB = 7 - 2 units = 5 units

corresponding height: h= 5 units

Now , Area of parallelogram  ABCD = base AB x corresponding height

= 5 x 5 square units

= 25 square units

Hence,  the area of parallelogram  ABCD is 25 square units .

A cylindrical basket has a volume of 15 cubic feet. If the height of the basket is 1.5 feet, what is the area of the base of the
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

10 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the volume of a uniform cylinder may be defined by the formula:

Volume = Base Area x Height

In our case we are given

Volume = 15 ft³ and Base Area = 1.5 ft

Substituting these known values into the formula gives:

Volume = Base Area x Height

15 = Base Area x 1.5

Base Area = 15 / 1.5

Base Area = 10 ft²
