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 the measure 29° 6' 6" as decimal to the nearest thousandth.
den301095 [7]
This angle is "29 degrees 6 minutes 6 seconds".

-- There are 60 minutes in 1 degree. 
     So 1 minute = 1/60 degree.

-- There are 60 seconds in 1 minute. 
      So 1 second = 1/60 minute = 1/3600 degree.

  29  6'  6"  =  (29)° + (6/60)° + (6/3600)°

                   =  (29)° + (0.1)° + (0.001666...)°

                   =        29.101666...°

Rounded to the nearest thousandth of a degree:  29.102°
