Answer:

  3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the deck. The deck adds to the pool dimensions on both sides, so the area of the site including pool and deck will be ...

  A = (20 +2x)(50 +2x) = 1000 +140x +4x^2

The area of the pool alone is

  A = (20)(50) = 1000

So, the area of the deck is the difference:

  456 = (4x^2 +140x +1000) -(1000)

Dividing by 4 and subtracting 114, we have ...

  x^2 +35x -114 = 0

  (x -3)(x +38) = 0

Solutions to this are x = 3 and x = -38. The positive solution is the one of interest.

The deck is 3 feet wide.

Can somebody help me
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Y=5

You must first divide b (-10) by two and square it to know what you need to make a perfect square (25). You must then add or subtract the amount to make C (-13) into that number (add 38). Don't forget to do it on the other side too! (3 becomes 41) You then factor the left side. ((Y-5)^2=41) The result is your answer. (Y=5)

(-4,-6) and (3,-7) find the distance between each pair of points
Vlad [161]

Answer:

5\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

distance between two points:

d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+ (y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}

we have:

(-4, -6), (3, -7)

x_{1} = -4

y_{1} =-6

x_{2} = 3

y_{2} =-7

so we have:

d =\sqrt{(3-(-4))^{2}+ (-7-(-6))^{2}}\\\\d =\sqrt{(7)^{2}+ (-1)^{2}}\\\\d = \sqrt{49+ 1}\\\\d=\sqrt{50}\\\\d=5\sqrt{2}
