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.

Find the number of permutations of the first 9 letters of the alphabet, taking 4 letters at a time.
Vinil7 [7]

Solution-

First 9 letters of alphabet are- A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I

Total number of ways of selection of 4 letters from 9 alphabets = 9C4

=9!÷((4!).(9-4)!) = 9!÷(4!×5!) = (9×8×7×6)÷(24) = 126

The number of ways of arranging these 4 numbers = 4! = 24

∴ Total number of possible permutations = 9C4×4! = 126×24 = 3024

∴ option number 2 is correct.
