A rectangle patio that originally measured 5 feet by 10 feet was extended on one side each by x feet. The area of a new, larger,

L-shaped extension is 126 feet.

Explain how you arrived at your equation.

Find the value of x by solving your equation.

We solve for the area of the original triangle and solution is shown below:
Original triangle area = LW = 5*10 = 20 squared units

If we extend this x on one side that resulted to L-shaped, we have the new area such as shown below:
New area = (L+X) (W)
126 = (5+x) * 10
126/10 = 5+x
12.6 - 5 = x
7.6 =x

I. The equation that could be used to solve for x is below:
126 = (5+x)*w
II. We arrived on this because of the statement that "x is added to one side that resulted to L-shaped rectangle, therefore it is added on 5 ft side"
III. The value of x is equal to 7.6 ft.

A circular swimming pool has a diameter of 40 meters. The depth of the pool is constant along west-east lines and increases line
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Volume is 2000\pi\ m^{3}

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter, d = 40 m

Radius, r = 20 m

Now,

From north to south, we consider this vertical distance as 'y' and height, h varies linearly as a function of y:

iff

h(y) = cy + d

Then

when y = 1 m

h(- 20) = 1 m

1 = c.(- 20) + d = - 20c + d              (1)

when y = 9 m

h(20) = 9 m

9 = c.20 + d = 20c + d                  (2)

Adding eqn (1) and (2)

d = 5 m

Using d = 5 in eqn (2), we get:

c = \frac{1}{5}

Therefore,

h(y) = \frac{1}{5}y + 5

Now, the Volume of the pool is given by:

V = \int h(y)dA

where

A = r\theta

A = rdr\ d\theta

Thus

V = \int (\frac{1}{5}y + 5)dA

V = \int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{20} (\frac{1}{5}rsin\theta + 5) rdr\ d\theta

V = \int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{20} (\frac{1}{5}r^{2}sin\theta + 5r}) dr\ d\theta

V = \int_{0}^{2\pi} (\frac{1}{15}20^{3}sin\theta + 1000) d\theta

V = [- 533.33cos\theta + 1000\theta]_{0}^{2\pi}

V = 0 + 2\pi \times 1000 = 2000\pi\ m^{3}

The sum of the components of anything equals the whole thing. Which property/postulate does this statement represent?
IgorC [24]
The property that is being described in the statement "The sum of the components of anything equals the whole thing" would be the Partition Postulate. It is simply the whole is equal to the sum of its parts. For instance we have a line where it contains points W, X, Y and Z, then WX + XY + YZ = WZ.

Find the center and radius of the sphere whose equation is given by x2+y2+z2−2x−4y+8z+17=0x2+y2+z2−2x−4y+8z+17=0.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
We know that
the equation of a sphere is
(x-h)²+(y-k)²+(z-l)²=r²
where (h,k,l) is the center and r is the radius

we have
x²+y²+z²<span>−2x−4y+8z+17=0
</span>

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(x²+2x)+(y²-4y)+(z²+8z)=-17
<span>Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side
</span>(x²+2x+1)+(y²-4y+4)+(z²+8z+16)=-17+1+4+16
(x²+2x+1)+(y²-4y+4)+(z²+8z+16)=4

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x+1)²+(y-2²)+(z+4)²=4

(x+1)²+(y-2²)+(z+4)²=2²

the center is the point (-1,2,-4) and the radius is 2 units
