1. You have that:
- The homeowner<span> want the length of the swimming pool to be 4 feet longer than its width.</span>
- He wants to surround it with a concrete walkway 3 feet wide.
- He can only afford 300 square feet of concrete for the walkway.
2. Therefore, the tota area is:
At=L2xW2
L2 is the lenght of the walkway (L2=L1+3+3⇒L2=(W1+4+6)⇒L2=W1+10).
W2 is the width of the walkway (W1+3+3⇒W2=W1+6)
3. The area of the walkway is:
A2=At-A1
A2=300 ft²
4. Therefore, you have that the width of the swimming pool is:
A2=(W1+10)(W1+6)-(W1+4)(W1)
300=(W1²+6W1+10W1+60)-(W1²+4W1)
W1²+16W1+60-W1²-4W1-300=0
12W1-240=0
W1=240/12
W1=20 ft
5. And the length is:
L1=W1+4
L1=20+4
L1=24 ft
In order to check whether the length of the sides are applicable to form a triangle is that we have to make sure that the sum of the length of two side should be greater than the third side.
<span>18.5 m, 36.9 m, and 16.9 m
18.5 m < </span><span>36.9 m +16.9 m
</span>36.9 m < 18.5<span> m +16.9 m
</span>16.9 m < 18.5 m + <span>36.9 </span>m
So the dimensions are correct!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 = 2 × 1
6 = 2 × 3
GCF = 2
X=Amount of skittles at the start.
Nasir ate 10 skittles and Seif ate 6 skittles so the number of skittles they had(x) - how many they both ate equals : 2/3;
(x-10)/(x-6)=2/3
3(x-10)=2(x-6)
3x-30=2x-12
x-30=-12
x=18
They each started with 18 skilttles.
