The surface of a pool table has a perimeter of 26 feet and an area of 36 square feet. What are the dimensions of the pool table?

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

An object is propelled upward from the top of a 300 foot building. The path that the object takes as it falls to the ground can
serg [7]

Answer:

As per the statement:

The path that the object takes as it falls to the ground can be modeled by:

h =-16t^2 + 80t + 300

where

h is the height of the objects and

t is the time (in seconds)

At t = 0 , h = 300 ft

When the objects hit the ground, h = 0

then;

-16t^2+80t+300=0

For a quadratic equation: ax^2+bx+c=0         ......[1]

the solution for the equation is given by:

x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

On comparing the given equation with [1] we have;  

a = -16 ,b = 80 and c = 300

then;

t= \frac{-80\pm \sqrt{(80)^2-4(-16)(300)}}{2(-16)}

t= \frac{-80\pm \sqrt{6400+19200}}{-32}

t= \frac{-80\pm \sqrt{25600}}{-32}  

Simplify:

t = -\frac{5}{2} = -2.5 sec and t = \frac{15}{2} = 7.5 sec

Time can't be in negative;

therefore, the time it took the object to hit the ground is 7.5 sec

If an angle is obtuse what type of angle is its supplement
Butoxors [25]
The supplement of an obtuse angle is an acute because the angle number for an obtuse angle is any number greater than 90 degrees. So an acute angle is less than 90 degrees. The "supplement" definition is "any number less than 180 degrees." 

Hope this helps,

If x represents the mass of 1 ball in kg, then the balance shows ...

... 6x = x + 9 kg

... 5x = 9 kg

Then 6x is ...

... (6/5)·5x = (6/5)·9 kg = 10.8 kg

0.8 kg = 0.8·1000 g = 800 g

so 10.8 kg is ...

... D. 10 kg 800 g

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the points (7, 5)(7, 5) and (−4, −1)(−4, −1) ? y+4=116(
Alex Ar [27]
(7,5)(-4,-1)
slope = (-1-5) / (-4-7) = -6/-11 = 6/11

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 6/11
(-4,-1)...x1 = -4 and y1 = -1
now we sub...pay close attention to ur signs
y - (-1) = 6/11(x - (-4) ...not done yet...
y + 1 = 6/11(x + 4) <===
