Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

pool tables are rectanglar

Perimeter = 2L + 2W      =  2(L+W)   ---->>>    Perimeter/2  = L + W  =

         Perimeter/2 - W  =  L

        Area = L×W     

Two equations and two unknowns and  L is substituted into the area equation  

 ---->>  Area = (Perimeter/2 - W) x W

          Area = (Perimeter x W)/2  - W²              solve for W

Area = 36 and  Perimeter = 26

       36 ft² = (26)( W)/2 ft  - W² ft²

       36 ft² = 13W ft - W² ft²

        W² - 13W + 36 = 0            quadratic equation factor solve for W

         (W - 4)(W - 9)  = 0            

There are two roots

        W - 4 = 0   and W - 9 = 0

        W = 4  and  9         W = 9  it doesn't make sense  needs to be < L

Perimeter/2 - W = L

         L = 26/2 - W

            = 13 - 4

         L = 9 ft  and   W = 4 ft

How many bucketloads would it take to bucket out the world’s oceans? Write your answer in scientific notation.
kodGreya [7K]

Answer: 7\times10^{19} buckets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  A cubic kilometer=10^{15}cubic centimeters

The volume of  world’s oceans=1.4\times10^{9} cubic kilometers of water.

⇒ The volume of  world’s oceans=1.4\times10^{9}\times10^{15} cubic centimeters of water.

Volume of a bucket = 20,000 cubic centimeters of water.

The number of bucket-loads would it take to bucket out the world’s oceans

n=\frac{\text{volume of ocean}}{\text{volume of bucket}}=\frac{1.4\times10^{9}\times10^{15}}{20000}

\Rightarrow\ n=\frac{1.4\times10^{9+15}}{0.2\times10^5}......[a^n\times a^m=a^{m+n}]\\\Rightarrow\ n=7\times10^{24-5}.....[\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}]\\\Rightyarrow\ n=7\times10^{19}

hence,  7\times10^{19} bucketloads would it take to bucket out the world’s oceans.
