(x-4)² + (x-2)² = x²
(x² - 8x + 16 ) + (x² - 4x + 4) = x
2x² -12x + 20 = x
2x²-12x + 20 - x = 0
2x² - 13x + 20 = 0
(2x-5) (x-4) = 0
2x-5 = 0
2x = 5
x = ⁵/₂
x-4 = 0
x = 4
so x₁ = ⁵/₂ , and x₂ = 4
The answer should be $13 !! hope that helps
Okay so we need to figure out the width of the swimming pool using the length, and we know the width is 10 ft shorter than twice the width. I believe the easiest way to do this would be to first do 35-10, and then divide it in half. That gives us 12.5. To check our work I'll do the problem 12.5+12.5+10=35.
The width of the swimming pool is 12.5 ft.
92631
thats the answerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
