So when X is 0, the area of the pool is 1200. That makes A and C impossible... then you can plug in numbers...say the boardwalk is 1 ft wide, add 2 to each dimension and plug in 1 for X. (You're adding 2 because there is a tile on either side of each dimension, including corners).
32x42=1344=4+140+1200
Therefore the answer is B.
Answer:
x = √53

- [Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
We are given a right triangle. We can use PT to solve for the missing length.
<u>Step 2: Identify Variables</u>
Leg <em>a</em> = 6
Leg <em>b</em> = <em>x</em>
Hypotenuse <em>c</em> = √89
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Set up equation: 6² + x² = (√89)²
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: x² = (√89)² - 6²
- Exponents: x² = 89 - 36
- Subtract: x² = 53
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = √53
