Answer:

  • B. 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the pool deck be x.

  • Dimensions of the pool are 12 + 2x and 24 + 2x.
  • Total area is 1408 ft².

<u>We have equation:</u>

  • (12 + 2x)(24 + 2x) = 1408
  • 12*24 + 12*2x + 24*2x + (2x)² = 1408
  • 288 + 72x + 4x² = 1408
  • 4x² + 72x + 288 - 1408 = 0
  • 4x² + 72x - 1120 = 0
  • x² + 18x - 280 = 0
  • x² - 10x + 28x - 280 = 0
  • x(x - 10) + 28(x - 10) = 0
  • (x - 10)(x + 28) = 0

1)

  • x - 10 = 0
  • x = 10

2)

  • x + 28 = 0
  • x = - 28 (discarded as negative)

Correct choice is B

At a military function, three cannons are fired at intervals of 12
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

144 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

To do solve this question, we must find the LCM (least common multiple) of 12, 16, and 18.

Let's start by prime factorizing (finding the prime factors) all the numbers.

12\rightarrow3*4\rightarrow2*2*3

16\rightarrow4*4\rightarrow2*2*2*2

18\rightarrow2*9\rightarrow2*3*3

Now, we must find the greatest quantity of each [prime] number and multiply them together to obtain the least common multiple.

Upon further evaluation of the [prime] factors, we can see that we need four 2s and two 3s. Therefore...

2*2*2*2*3*3=2^4*3^2=16*9=144

They will be fired together again after 144 seconds.

How many of the 0 digits are place holders in 906.903?? How do I write this answer in numeral form?
anzhelika [568]
Answer:2

The 0 in the tens place as well as the 0 in the hundredths place are both place holders. We know this because they are surrounded on both sides by no-zero numbers.

As far as NUMERICAL form goes, it is already done. 906.903 can be considered numerical form.
