Answer:

6 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of the Pool =80 feet long by 20 feet wide

Area of the walkway =1344 square feet.

If the width of the walkway=w

  • Length of the Larger Rectangle =80+2w
  • Width of the Larger Rectangle =20+2w

Area of the Walkway =Area of the Larger Rectangle - Area of the Pool

1344=(80+2w)(20+2w)-(80*20)\\1344=80*20+160w+40w+4w^2-80*20\\4w^2+200w=1344\\4w^2+200w-1344=0\\We factorize\\4(w^2+50w-336)=0\\4(w^2-6w+56w-336)=0\\w(w-6)+56(w-6)=0\\(w-6)(w+56)=0\\w-6=0$ or $ w+56=0\\w=6$ ft or $ w=-56$ \\Therefore, the width of the walkway , w=6 feet.

The wind force f on a sail varies jointly as the area a of the sail and the square of the wind speed w.
blondinia [14]

Answer:

  122.5 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between force, wind speed, and area can be written ...

  f = ks²a

for some wind speed s and area a.

__

The constant of proportionality, k, can be found from the given data.

  64.8 = k(18²)(500) . . . force in pounds, area in square feet, speed in mph

  k = 64.8/(324×500) = 0.0004

__

Using the equation with the second set of data, we have ...

  f = 0.0004(35²)(250) = 122.5 . . . . pounds

The force on the 250 square foot sail would be 122.5 pounds.

The dimensions of a triangular prism are shown.
Serhud [2]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B.  32 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the two triangular faces has an area of ...

  A = (1/2)bh = (1//2)(6 in)(4 in) = 12 in²

The lateral surface area is the product of the prism height (0.5 in) and the perimeter of the base.

  LA = (0.5 in)(5 in +5 in + 6 in) = 8 in²

So, the total area is the area of the two base and the lateral area:

  SA = 2A +LA

  SA = 2(12 in²) +8 in² = 32 in²

The surface area of the prism is 32 square inches.
