Step by step:

Perimeter = Summation of all sides = AB+BC+CD+DA = 2x+2+x+2x+2+x=(6x+4)

⇒6x+4=154

⇒6x=154−4

⇒\frac{150}{6x}

⇒25=x

The breadth is x=25

The length of the rectangular pool = (2×25+2)=50+2=52m

<em>breadth </em>is 25 and the<em> length </em>is 52

Hope it helps!

\blue\star \rm\pink{ Question:}

The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 154 m. Its length is 2 m more than twice its breadth. What are the length and the breadth of the pool?

\\  \\

\blue\star \rm\pink{ Given :}

  • Perimeter of swimming pool is 154 m
  • Length is 2m more than breadth

\\  \\

\blue\star \rm\pink{ To ~Find :}

  • Length of rectangular pool
  • Breadth of rectanglur pool

\\  \\

\blue\star \rm\pink{Let :}

  • Breadth of x
  • Length be (2 + 2x)

\\  \\

We know:-

\bigstar \boxed{ \rm perimeter \: of \: rextangle = 2(length +breadth)}

So:-

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow\sf perimeter \: of \: rextangle = 2(length +breadth) \\

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow\sf 154 = 2( 2 + 2x +x) \\

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow\sf 154 = 2( 2 + 3x) \\

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow\sf 154 = 2( 2 )+ 2(3x) \\

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow\sf 154 = 4+ 2(3x) \\

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow\sf 154 = 4+ 6x

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow\sf 154 - 4 =6x

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow\sf 150 =6x

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow\sf 6x = 150

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow\sf x = \dfrac{150}{6}

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow\sf x = \cancel \dfrac{150}{6}

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow\bf x =25

\\  \\

Let's Verify value of x:-

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow\sf 154 = 2( 2 + 2x +x) \\

put value of x in equation

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow\sf 154 = 2( 2 +  \{2 \times 25 \} +25) \\

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow\sf 154 = 2( 2 + 50+25) \\

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow\sf 154 = 2( 2 + 75) \\

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow\sf 154 = 2(77) \\

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow\bf 154 =154

\\  \\

\Large \bf\dag LHS = RHS \dag

Hence proved

\\  \\

Finally Let's find length and breadth of pool:-

\\  \\

To find breadth

➙ Breadth = x

➙ Breadth = 25 m

\\

To find length

➙ Length = 2 + 2x

➙ Length = 2 + 2(25)

➙ Length = 2 + 50

➙ Length = 52 m

A person needs to fill 18 water jugs with a hose. Filling the first 3 jugs has taken 5 minutes. How long to finish filling the r
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

10.8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

We are told that the number of Jugs is 18

Filling the first 3 jugs has taken 5 minutes

let us find the filling rate

Rate= 3/5

Rate= 0.6 Jugs per minute

Hence the rate of filling is 0.6 Jugs per minute

Therefore the time take to fill the remaining 16 jugs is

TIme= Rate*Number of Jugs

TIme= 0.6*18

Time= 10.8 minutes

each truck in the line weigh two tons more than the truck before it. the trucks weigh a total of 32 tons.how many pounds does a
mixer [17]
If there are 4 trucks then the first truck weighs x
then x+2tons
then x+4tons
then x+6tons = 32tons
so 4x+12=32
         -12   -12
     /4         /4
x=5 
so plug it back in 
truck 1= 5tons or 10,000lbs
truck 2= 7tons or 14,000lbs
truck 3= 9tons or 18,000lbs
<span>truck 4= 11tons or 22,000lbs</span>
