Step-by-step explanation:

x=width of pool

2x=length of pool

the dimensions of the rectangle forming the walkway and the pool are x+4 and 2x+4

the area of this rectangle minus the area of the pool is 196 square feet

(2x+4)(x+4)-(x)(2x)=196

2x^2+4x+8x+16-2x^2=196

combine similar terms

12x+16=196

12x=196-16

12x=180

x=180/12

x=15 feet is the width of the pool

check: 34*19-30*15=196

646-450=196

196=196

The length of a rectangle is four times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 324m^2, find its perimeter.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

$perimeter=90$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the length is four times the width, so:

$l=4w$

We also know the area, which is 324 m². The formula for area:

$A=l*w$

Insert the known values:

$324=(4w)*w$

Solve for w. Simplify by removing parentheses:

$324=4w*w\\324=4w^2$

Divide 4 from both sides to isolate the variable:

$\frac{324}{4}=\frac{4w^2}{4} \\\\81=w^2$

Find the square root of both sides:

$\sqrt{81} =\sqrt{w^2} \\\\w=9$

The width is 9 m.

We know the width. Now find the length by using the area formula and inserting known values:

$324=l*9$

Solve for l. Divide both sides by 9:

$\frac{324}{9}=\frac{l*9}{9}\\\\ l=36$

The length of the rectangle is 36. (You can check: 4 times 9 is 36)

Now find the perimeter:

$P=2l+2w$

Insert values:

$P=2(36)+2(9)\\\\P=72+18\\\\P=90$

The perimeter is 90 m.

A farmer has 500 acres to plant acres of corn, x, and acres of cotton, y. Corn costs $215 per acre to produce, and cotton costs

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The system that represent the scenario is

$x+y\leq500$

$215x+615y\leq 187,500$

The solution in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the acres of corn

y----> the acres of cotton

we know that

$x+y\leq500$ ------> inequality A

$215x+615y\leq 187,500$ -----> inequality B

using a graphing tool

the solution is the shaded area in the attached figure
