Answer:

  pool radius is 8+4√5 ≈ 16.94 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r represent the radius of the pool. Then r+2 is the radius to the outside of the walkway. The ratio of areas is given as 4/5, so we have ...

  πr²/(π(r+2)²) = 4/5

  5r² = 4(r² +4r +4) . . . . cross-multiply

  r² -16r -16 = 0 . . . . . . . subtract the right-side expression from both sides

__

  r² -16r +64 = 80 . . . . . add 80 to complete the square

  (r -8)² = 80

  r -8 = √80 = 4√5 . . . . square root; use only the positive root

  r = 8 +4√5 ≈ 16.94 . . . meters

The radius of the pool is 8+4√5 ≈ 16.94 meters.

_____

The area of a circle of radius r is given by the formula ...

  A = πr²

Jim wishes to buy 3 gifts that cost 15 dollars, 9 dollars, and 12 dollars. he has 1/4 of the money he needs, how much more money
Archy [21]
In order to solve this, you have to plug in all of the costs of the gifts and add them, which in all equals $36. since jim only has 1/4 of the money he needs to buy the gifts, you need to divide 36 by 4. this gives you 9, so now you know he has 9 dollars.
and to find out how much more money he needs, you can subtract 9 from 36 which represents a fourth of the required money. the answer is 27, that's how much jim needs in order to buy his gifts.

Multiply (x - 4)(x - 3)<br> PLZZZ get it RIGHT, SHOW YOUR WORK,AND NO LINKS PLZ!
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 4) (x - 3)

x^2 - 3x - 4x + 12 (you distribute x in (x-4) to each of the terms x and -3 and multiply them. x*x is x^2 and x*(-3) is -3x. Then, you distribute -4 in (x-4) to  each of the terms x and -3 and multiply them. -4*x is -4x and -4*-3 is 12)

x^2 - 7x + 12 (B)

Can someone please help ? :(
Anika [276]

Answer:

I'll list the answers as coordinates (just input the second number in each coordinate)

(-2, 11)

(0, 1)

(2, -9)

(4, -19)

Step-by-step explanation:

So you see how the x column is filled out? You plug in the numbers in each area and solve for y.

So we start off with -2. You take the x out and place -2 instead. Your equation should look like this:

y = -5 (-2) + 1

Next you multiply -5 and -2, giving you 10. Your equation would look like this now:

y = 10 + 1

Next you add 10 and 1 together, and you have your answer. Keep doing the same thing, but instead of -2 for x, use 0, 2, and 4.

Hope I helped! Have a nice day or night! ^-^
