A rectangular pool measures 10m by 5m. A deck, of uniform width, is to be built all the way around the pool such that the total

area of the pool and deck will be126m2 . Set up and solve a quadratic equation to determine the width of the deck.

Answer:

The width of the deck is 2m .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the pool be represented by w. As stated in the problem a deck of uniform width is to be built so the total width of the pool and deck will be w+w = 2w.

Now the total dimensions can be taken as

10m+ 2w and 5m + 2w of both the pool and deck.

Area = length * breadth

126m ²= (10m+ 2w) ( 5m + 2w )

126= 50 + 30 w+ 4w²

0= 50 -126+ 30 w+ 4w²

0 = 30 w+ 4w²- 76

Taking 2 as common

0= 2( 15 w+ 2w² - 38)

2w²+ 15 w - 38= 0

The above equation is the quadratic equation and can be solved as follows.

a= 2 , b= 15 and c= -38

b= -b±√b²- 4ac/2a

Putting the values

b= - 15±√15²- 4( 2)(-38)/2(2)

b= - 15± 23/4

b= - 38/4 or 8/4

b= 2 m

The width cannot be negative so we ignore the negative value

The width of the deck is 2m .

The can be checked by putting the value in the original equation.

126m ²= (10m+ 2w) ( 5m + 2w )

126m ²= (10m+ 2(2)) ( 5m + 2(2) )

126m ²= (10m+ 4) ( 5m + 4 )

126m ²= 14*9

126m ²= 126m ²

What’s the answer to this?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

y=3/2x+0

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope intercept form formula is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept and since the slope is rise over run ( or rise/run just put it into fraction form) we count from the y intercept up until we can see the line reach a point where it touches a actual cross point ( in this case from the y intercept we see it goes up three) Then we count over how many to that cross point ( the full point, not just a random place on the chart) (in this case 2) and that creates 3/2. Now for the y intercept. Where does the line intercept the vertical line? That's your y intercept. In this case it's 0. Now you can see where we count up from three ( for the slope) and over two. Right onto that point. Hope this makes sense! If not look up Khan academy for some extra tutoring that is free.

Hope this helps! If so please mark brainliest and rate/heart if it did.

In a list of 100 numbers , the fraction of numbers greater than 15 is (19/25) and the fraction of numbers less than 15 is (7/50)
Bingel [31]
19/25 * 100 = 1900/25 = 76 ....numbers greater then 15
7/50 * 100 = 700/50 = 14....numbers less then 15

100 - (76 + 14) = 100 - 90 = 10 <== numbers equal to 15
