<u>Answer-</u>

<em>Strip with </em><em>2.13 ft </em><em>width can be used. </em>

<u>Solution-</u>

A club swimming pool is 21 ft wide and 41 ft long.

Hence, the perimeter of the swimming pool is

P=2(\text{Length}+\text{Width})=2(41+21)=2(62)=124\ ft

The club members want a uniform width border around the pool.

They have enough material for 264 ft²

As they will cover the perimeter of the rectangular pool, so the length of the total used strip is equal to the perimeter of the swimming pool.

Let the width of the strip is x ft

So, the total area of the used strip is,

A=\text{Length}\times \text{Width}

Putting the values,

\Rightarrow 264=124\times x

\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{264}{124}

\Rightarrow x=2.13\ ft

Therefore, strip with 2.13 ft width can be used.

Luna's dining room is 19 feet wide and 22 feet long. Luna wants to install wooden trim
Marrrta [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $4.92

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost is found by multiplying the number of feet by the cost per foot. The number of feet is the perimeter of the dining room, the sum of the lengths of all the sides.

There are two sides of the rectangular room that are 19 feet, and two sides that are 22 feet, so the total length of trim is ...

  P = 2(L +W) = 2(22 ft + 19 ft) = 2(41 ft) = 82 ft

The cost is then ...

  cost = ($0.06/ft)(82 ft) = $4.92

It will cost Luna $4.92 to buy enough trim.

Evgen [1.6K]
Plug 50 into y and find x.

5x + 10 (50) = 800
5x + 500 = 800
5x = 800 - 500
5x = 300
x = 300 ÷ 5
x = 60

Use the Angle Addition Postulate to find the measure of each angle.
Simora [160]
For number 15 and 16, you just have to find the absolute difference between the two points along the calibration of the protractor.

15. ∠BXC = |B - C| = |140° - 110°| = 30°
16. ∠BXE = |B - E| = |140° - 30°| = 110°

For numbers 20 and 21, apply the Angle Addition Postulate. This is when you add the individual interior angles to equate to the total angle.

20. ∠PQS = ∠PQR + ∠RQS
      112° = 72°+ 10x°
       x = 4

21. ∠KLM = ∠KLN + ∠NLM
      135° = 47°+ 16y°
       y = 5.5

A rectangle with an area of 192 square meters has a length and width in a ratio of 3:1. What are the length and width?
yuradex [85]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

Length = 24 meters.

Width = 8 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that to find the area of a rectangle, the formula is as shown:

A = l × w

In this case, the length is 3 times the length of the width, or 3 : 1.

Let w = width, and

3w = length.

Find the value of w by plugging in these values into the equation:

192 = 3w · w

192 = 3w²

Divide both sides by 3:

64 = w²

Square root both sides:

w = 8 meters. This is the width.

The length is equivalent to 3w, so:

3(8) = 24 meters.
