Answer: the width of the uniform path is 9 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the uniform path.

A pool measuring 18 meters by 22 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width. It means that the combined length of the pool and the uniform path is (18 + 2x) meters and the combined width of the pool and the uniform path is (22 + 2x) meters.

If the area of the pool and the path combined is 1440 square meters, it means that

(18 + 2x)(22 + 2x) = 1440

396 + 36x + 44x + 4x² = 1440

4x² + 80x + 396 - 1440 = 0

4x² + 80x - 1044 = 0

Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, it becomes

x² + 20x - 261 = 0

x² + 29x - 9x - 261 = 0

x(x + 29) - 9(x + 29) = 0

x - 9 = 0 or x + 29 = 0

x = 9 or x = 29

Since the width cannot be negative, then x = 9 meters

Help!!<br> What is the relationship between the corresponding angle bisectors BD and XZ?
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

XZ = 2.5 BD

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing the two triangles,

\frac{BD}{BC} = \frac{XZ}{XY}

\frac{6}{8} = \frac{XZ}{20}

⇒ XZ = \frac{20*6}{8}

         = 15

XZ = 15

So that,

BD:XZ = 6:15

           = 1:2.5

Therefore, the relationship between BD and XZ is XZ = 2.5 BD.

Use the equation 1/2 (x - 4) = 1/3x + 2
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

1/2(x-4)= 1/3x+2

6x1/2(x-4)=6x1/3x+2x6

3(x-4)=2x+12

3x-12=2x+12

3x-2x=12+12

x=24
