Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that angles in a triangle add up to 180, so:

5x-60+2x+40+3x-80=180

Simplify

10x-100=180

Solve

Subtract 100 from both sides

10x=80

Divide 80 by 10 to find x

x=8

Answer: 2 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = width of the cement path.

Dimensions of pool : Length = 15 meters , width = 9 meters

Area of pool = length x width = 15 x 9 = 135 square meters

Along width cement path, the length of region = $2w+15$

width = $2w+9$

Area of road with pool = $(2w+15) (2w+9)$

$= 4w^2+30w+18w+135\\\\=4w^2+48w+135$

Area of road = (Area of road with pool ) -(area of pool)

$\Rightarrow\ 112 =4w^2+48w+135- 135\\\\\Rightarrow\ 112= 4w^2+48w\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4 w^2+48w-112=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w^2+12w-28=0\ \ \ [\text{Divide both sides by 4}]\\\\\Rightarrow\ w^2+14w-2w-28=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w(w+14)-2(w+14)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (w+14)(w-2)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ w=-14\ or \ w=2$
