Answer:
w=7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 7 on both sides of the equation.
The total area of pool and border = 361 square feet.
Length of square pool = x
Length of square pool plus border = (x + 1 +1 ) = x + 2
There is 1 foot length on each side on the x length.
The other length of the square pool and border = (x + 2)
Area = (x+2)(x+2)
(x + 2)(x +2) = 361. Let A = x +2
A*A = 361
A² = 361 Take square root of both sides
A = √361
A = 19
A = x + 2 = 19
x = 19 - 2
x = 17
Area of square pool = x*x = 17*17 = 289
Area of the pool = 289 square feet.
Answer:
b is correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
hope it helped
For this problem you need to find the area.
To find area, you multiply the width by the length.
You multiply 12 1/2 by 5 1/2 and you get 31 1/4
This is how you do it::
= 25/2 × 5/2
= (25 × 5) / (2 × 2)
= 125/4
= 125/4
<span>= 31 1/4
So you know that the area is 31 1/4 yards.
In the question it asks HOW MANY FEET so we have to convert 31 1/4 yards to feet.
1 yard= 3 feet
31 1/4 *3= </span><span>93.75
<span>John need to buy 93.75 feet of fencing to enclose the area.</span></span>
Use Pythagorean Theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2.
