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

-9T means -9 x T
So if T is equivalent to 4,
you should do:
-9 x 4 = -36
J= -36

A toy baseball bat comes with 3 plastic balls. The balls are in a box that is a rectangular solid. The box is just big enough to
vodomira [7]

Answer:

31.4 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The box is just big enough to hold the 3 balls, so it must have a length 6 times the radius of each ball, a width 2 times the radius, and a height 2 times the radius.

The volume of the box is:

V = (6r)(2r)(2r)

V = 24r³

The volume of the 3 balls is:

V = 3 (4/3 π r³)

V = 4πr³

So the volume of the air is:

V = 24r³ − 4πr³

V = (24 − 4π) r³

Since r = 1.4 inches:

V = (24 − 4π) (1.4 in)³

V ≈ 31.4 in³
