Zack reads faster so he will finish first
Pam= 126/3 = 42/1
Zack= 180/4 =45/1
Now multiply the unit rates by 5 each
Pam= 210/5
Zack= 225/5
Add 1 to both sides:
In cases like this, we have to remember that a root is always positive, so we can square both sides only assuming that
Under this assumption, we square both sides and we have
The solutions to this equation are
But since we can only accept solutions greater than -1, we discard 
and accept 
.
In fact, we have
and
which is the only solution.
Answer:
567 square yards
Step-by-step explanation:
The Area for 1 Triangular playground = 1/2 × Base × Height
The base of the triangle is 18 yards. The height of the triangle is 21 yards.
Hence:
= 1/2 × 18 yards × 21 yards
= 189 square yards
The area of the Triangular 3 playground is given as:
= 3 × 189 square yards
= 567 square yards

Tanα=h/x
h=xtanα, we are told that x=6.5ft and α=74° so
h=6.5tan74 ft
h≈22.67 ft (to nearest hundredth of a foot)
