Answer:

The dimensions of the pool are:

Width: 8.944 feet

Length: 17.888 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From Geometry, the area of a rectangle (A), measured in square feet, is determined by the following equations:

A = w\cdot l (1)

Where:

w - Width, measured in feet.

l - Length, measured in feet.

If we know that w = x, l = 2\cdot x and A = 160\,ft^{2}, then we get the following second order polynomial:

2\cdot x^{2}-160 = 0 (1)

And we solve the expression for x:

2\cdot x^{2} = 160

x^{2} = 80

x = \sqrt{80}\,ft

x \approx 8.944\,ft

Then, the dimensions of the pool are, respectively:

w \approx 8.944\,ft and l \approx 17.888\,ft

Write and equation of the line perpendicular to the given line that contains P
Artyom0805 [142]
If slope of a line is m then slope of the perpendicular line is -1/m .
so slope of perpendicular line is -3.
then use this  y-y0=m(x-x0)
y+5=-3(x-2)
y+5=-3x+6
y=-3x+1
