Answer:

<u>1.16 m (approximately)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the width of the path.

Total area  = (5+2x)(3+2x) = 39

Expand and simplify

4x²+ 16x+15-39 = 0

4x² + 16x - 24 = 0

Simplify

x² + 4x -6 = 0

Rational factoring does not work, so use quadratic formula

x = +/- sqrt(10) -2

= 1.16 or -5.16 (reject)

= <u>1.16 m (approximately)</u>

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

(0.55, 0.75)

Step-by-step explanation:

The range can be estimated to be 6 standard deviations wide.  Therefore, the standard deviation is:

σ = (0.72 - 0.42) / 6

σ = 0.05

The margin of error is ±2σ, so:

ME = ±0.10

Therefore, the interval estimate is:

(0.65 - 0.10, 0.65 + 0.10)

(0.55, 0.75)

Well...   the segment FG = 4x + 3, the segment GH = 7x - 12, now, the
 
segment FH = FG + GH, those two fellows added up, and we know that FG and GH are both equal halves because G is the midpoint.

thus, FG = GH
or

\bf 4x+3=7x-12\implies 3+12=7x-4x\implies 15=3x&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{15}{3}=x\implies \boxed{5=x}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;thus\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;\overline{FG}=4x+3\\&#10;4(5)+3\\&#10;23\\&#10;------\\&#10;\overline{GH}=7x-12\\&#10;7(5)-12\\&#10;23&#10;\end{cases}\impliedby equal\ halves&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\overline{FH}=23+23\implies \overline{FH}=46\implies 6y-2=46&#10;\\\\\\&#10;6y=46+2\implies y=\cfrac{48}{6}

and fairly sure, you know how much that is.
