PLEASE HELP, WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!

Answer 1

Answer:

8,5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the form

x² + y² = (r)²

Is the equation of the circumference

We have for the pool:

x²  +  y²  = 2500      ⇒  x²  +  y²  = (50)²

And for the outside edge of the footpath

x²  +  y²  = 3422,25  ⇒  x² + y²  = (58,5)²

So we obtain the radius of each circumference

For the outside edge of the pool  r₁  = 50 feet

For the outside edge of the footpath r₂ = 58,5  feet

Then the width of the footpath is  58,5  - 50  =  8,5 feet
