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

how could you estimate the volume of the box if you didn't know anything except the volume of the cylinder inside it?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the box contains a cylinder, the height of the box must be gt; = cylinder height

And the area at the bottom of the box is definitely larger than the area at the bottom of the cylinder.

The area at the bottom of the cylinder is PI r squared,

If the bottom of the box is a square, then the area of the bottom is 4r^2, whereas the bottom tends to be polygon, which is equivalent to cutting the circle into equal parts by circle cutting.

So the area at the bottom of the box is \lim_{ Number of polygon edges\to \infty} \pi r^{2},

It follows that the volume of the box is greater than the volume of the cylinder

Lorico [155]
The median is a better representative of the central value of a data set when
the data set is highly skewed.

Note that
The median and average value only coincide when the distribution is perfectly normal.
Many outliers will also skew the distribution, and the median becomes a better representative.

How do you find the perimeter of any closed figure?
harina [27]
You can find the perimeter of any closed figure by, measuring the sides and adding all of the sides. After, you have to add all of the sides, including the base together! Hope this is correct
