Answer:

The pool that they buy is the circular pool which Marsha wants

The cost of the circular pool is $471.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters of the swimming pools which each of Pete and Marsha wants to buy is given as follows;

The dimensions of the pool Pete wants = 18 feet wide, 20 feet long and 6 feet deep

The dimensions of the circle shaped pool Marsha wants = 20 feet across and 6 feet deep

The price of water, P = 25 cents per cubic foot

The pool they decide to buy = The pool that costs less to fill

The volume of water to fill the pool Pete wants, V₁ = 18 ft. × 20 ft. × 6 ft. = 2,160 ft.³

The cost of filling the pool Pete wants, C₁ = V₁ × P

∴ C₁ = 2,160 ft.³ × 25cents/ft.³ = 54,000 cents = 540 Dollars

The volume of water to fill the pool Marsha wants, V₂ = π·(20 ft.)²/4 × 6 ft. ≈ 1,884.96 ft.³

The cost of filling the pool Marsha wants, C₁ = V₁ × P

∴ C₁ ≈ 1,884.96 ft.³ × 25 cents/ft.³ ≈ 47,124 cents = 471.24 Dollars

The pool that they buy is the circular pool that Marsha wants and it costs $471.24 to fill

Two cars leave the same location traveling in opposite directions. One car leaves at 3:00 p.m. traveling at an average rate of 5
sergey [27]
Recall your d = rt,   distance = rate * time

thus \bf \begin{array}{lccclll}&#10;&distance&rate&time(hrs)\\&#10;&-----&-----&-----\\&#10;\textit{first car}&d&55&x\\&#10;\textit{second car}&380-d&75&x+1&#10;\end{array}\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;\boxed{d}=(55)(x)\\\\&#10;380-d=(75)(x+1)\\&#10;----------\\&#10;380-\left( \boxed{(55)(x)} \right)=(75)(x+1)&#10;\end{cases}

notice, the first car leaves at "x" time, the other leaves on hour later, or x + 1

the first car travels some distance "d", whatever that is, thus
the second car, picks up the slack, or the difference, they're 380 miles
apart, thus the difference is 380-d
