We are asked to solve for the width "x" in the given problem. To visualize the problem, see attached drawing.
We have the area of the swimming pool such as:
Area SP = l x w
Area SP = 10 * 16
Area SP = 160 feet2
Area of the swimming pool plus the sidewalk with uniform width:
Area SP + SW = (10 + x) * (16 + x)
160 + 155 = 160 + 10x + 16x + x2
160 -160 + 155 = 26x + x2
155 = 26 x + x2
x2 + 26x -155= 0
Solving for x, we need to use quadratic formula and the answer is 5 feet.
The value of x is

Answer:
Quadratic
Step-by-step explanation:
If <span>∆QRS≅∆TUV, Their corresponding sides would be equal so,
QS = TV
5v + 3 = 6v - 9
6v - 5v = 3 + 9
v = 12
Now, QS = TV = 5(12) + 3 = 60 + 3 = 63
In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the angle is bisected by rhe segment then the ratio of the sides to the corresponding parts of the base are equal, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
20x = 180 ( divide both sides by 20 )
x = 9
