The pool has a diameter 20 ft so: r = 10 ft.
The pool cover extents 12 inches beyond the edge of the pool.
12 inches = 1 foot
Therefore, the radius of the pool cover is : r = 10 + 1 = 11 ft.
a. The area of the pool cover:
A = r² π = 11² π = 121 π ft²
b. The length of the rope:
l = 2 r π = 2 · 11 π = 22 π ft.
First, figure out what you do and don't know....
You do know that 3 times the sum of a number and 4 is 18 more than the number....you don't know the number so you make it the variable x
now take 3 times the sum of a number and 4 and make that an expression 3x+4 this expression is the same or equal to the sum of x and 18 x+18
3x+4=x+18
2x+4=18
2x=14
x=7
hope this helped :)
