Answer:

width of the sidewalk = 1 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the pool = length × width

Length = 10 feet

Width = 6 feet

Area of the pool = length × width

= 10 feet × 6 feet

= 60 feet²

Area of the pool = 60 feet²

Total area = Area of the pool + Area of sidewalk

96 feet² = 60 feet ² + Area of sidewalk

Area of sidewalk = 96 feet² - 60 feet ²

Area of sidewalk = 36 feet²

Length of pool + sidewalk = 10 + 2x

width of pool + sidewalk = 6 + 2x

( 10 + 2 x ) ( 6 + 2 x ) -60 = 36

60 + 20x + 12x + 4x² - 60 = 36

4x² + 32x - 36 = 0

4x² + 36x - 4x - 36 = 0

4x (x + 9) -4(x + 9) = 0

(4x - 4) (x + 9) = 0

4(x - 1) (x + 9) = 0

(x - 1) = 0 (x + 9) = 0

x = 1 or x = -9

The width of the side walk can't be a negative value

Therefore, width of the sidewalk = 1 feet

Find the distance between the two points in simplest radical form.<br> (-1,9) and (4, -3)
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

GIVEN BY POINTS :-

( -1, 9) , ( 4 , -3)

Here ,

\bullet  \: \:  x _{1} = - 1 \\ \bullet \: \:  x _{2} = 4 \\ \bullet \: \:   y _{1} = 9 \\ \bullet \: \:    y _{2} =  - 3 \\

Using Distance formula :

=  >  \sf d = \sqrt{( {x _{2} - x _{1}) }^{2} + {( {y _{2} - y _{1}) }^{2} } } \\ \\  =  > \sf  d = \sqrt{ ({ 4  + 1)}^{2} + { ( - 3 - 9)}^{2} } \\  \\ =  >  \sf d = \sqrt{ {5}^{2} + {( - 12)}^{2} }  \\ \\  =  > \sf d = \sqrt{25 + 144}  \\ \\  =  > \sf d = \sqrt{169}  \\ \\ =  > \boxed{ \sf{  d = 13\:units }}\\

Can someone help me out?
stira [4]

Answer:

  40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle solver tool can find the angle easily. It is 39.8°, which rounds to 40°. Apps are available on some calculators, on the Internet, and for iOS and Android phones and tablets.

___

You may be expected to solve this using the Law of Cosines. If we name the sides ...

  • a = 1.75
  • b = 3.00
  • c = 2.00

the law of cosines tells us the relationship is ...

  c² = a² + b² -2ab·cos(θ)

Then the angle is ...

  θ = arccos((a² +b² -c²)/(2ab)) = arccos((3.0625 +9 -4)/(2·1.75·3))

  = arccos(8.0625/10.5) ≈ 39.838° ≈ 40°
