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

find the length of each isosceles right triangle when the hypotenuse of the given measure given 5 to the square root of 6
iragen [17]

In isosceles right triangle, legs are equal. Let each leg is of x units . And the given hypotenuse is 5 square 6. We use pythagorean identity here, which is

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where a=b=x and c= 5 square root 6

x^2 +x^2 =(5 \sqrt6)^2

2x^2 = 150

x^2 =75

x= 5 \sqrt 3

And that's the length of both the legs . ANd that's the required answer .

A 6-inch candle burns down in 12 hours. After how many hours will it have burned<br> 4 inches?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first find how many inches the candle would have burned in 1 hour.

6 in:12 hours

x: 1 hour

We can divide 12 by 12 to get 1. This means we need to divide 6 by 12 to get x

x=1/2 inches

1/2 inches:1 hour

4 inches: x hours

We divide 4 by 1/2 to get 8. 1/2*8=4. This means...

x=1 hour*8=8 hours
