Mrs. Bruce wants to put in a swimming pool with a deck around the perimeter of the pool. The pool will be rectangular shaped and will have dimensions of 12 feet by 20 feet. The deck around the perimeter will be uniformed in width and have a total area of 68 square feet. Find the width of the deck.

Hint: Draw and accurately label a sketch of the deck and pool in the space below.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I think! 3.5 feet wide

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of the pool is 240 square feet. divide by 68 square feet gives you 3.539= 3.5 feet wide. dont shoot me if I'm wrong lol

Answer 2

The width of the deck is approximately 2.65 feet.


How to calculate the width?

To solve the problem, we need to first find the total area of the pool and deck combined, and then subtract the area of the pool to find the area of the deck.

The total area of the pool and deck can be represented as follows:

(12 + 2x) x (20 + 2x)

where x is the width of the deck.

The area of the pool is:

12 x 20 = 240

So, the area of the deck can be found by subtracting the area of the pool from the total area:

(12 + 2x) x  (20 + 2x) - 240 = 68

Expanding the left side and simplifying, we get:

4x²+ 64x - 208 = 0

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:

x²+ 16x - 52 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, we get:

x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a

Where a = 1, b = 16, and c = -52.

Plugging in these values, we get:

x = (-16 ± √(16² - 4(1)(-52))) / 2(1)

x = (-16 ± √(960)) / 2

x = (-16 ± 4√(15)) / 2

x = -8 ± 2√(15)

Since the width of the deck cannot be negative, we can discard the negative solution, and we are left with:

x = -8 + 2√(15)

So, the width of the deck is approximately 2.65 feet.

I just did this lesson and i just guessed, but i got it wrong and it said the answer was 4.5. basically, you multiply the fractions and the number value first,(like 1/6 X 0) and you do that to all of them. and then you add up all your answers, simplify them and put it in decimal form. and you get 4.5. hopefully that made enough sense.

A right square pyramid has a base area of 200 square inches. Find its volume, if its height is 6 inches.
A. 33 in.
B. 400 in.
C. 3,600 in.
D. 1,200 in.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

400 in. is the correct answer

For a pyramid, volume= (1/3) x b x h where

B= base area, and

h= height .

So, volume= (1/3) x (200in^2) x (6in) = 400in^3.

Answers

Answer:

Part I:  The degree of a polynomial is the greatest of the degrees of its terms.

Part II:  In order to write a polynomial in descending order, you must write the terms with the exponents decreasing from left to right.

Part III: A. -4x² + 11x - 12, degree = 2,

B. 5x³ + 4x + 14, degree = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part I : Since the degree of a polynomial is the highest power of its monomials ( single term ),

e: degree of is 5.

Thus, in part I, the correct option is 'greatest'

Part II: When we write a polynomial then we write the terms of the polynomial in descending order of their degrees.

Thus, in part II the correct option is 'least'

Part III: A.  

∵ -4x² has the highest power in the polynomial.

⇒ Degree = 2,

Also, in the polynomial descending order of degrees,

2 > 1 > 0

⇒ polynomial in descending order,

B.  

Combining like terms,

∵ 5x³ has the highest degree,

⇒ Degree = 3,

Also, the order of the degrees in the polynomial is,

3 < 2 < 1 < 0

Thus, the polynomial in descending order,

x = 3

if you want to find the value of y, you just have to choose one of the equation. I will choose x + 2y = 4, even if you choose 2x - 2y = 5 the result remains same

x + 2y = 4

3 + 2y = 4

2y = 4 - 3

y = 1/2

The mean number of words per minute (WPM) typed by a speed typist is 119 with a standard deviation of 15 WPM. What is the probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by greater than 4.1 WPM if 33 speed typists are randomly selected? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

the probability that the sample mean would differ is 0.1164

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability is shown below

= 1 - P(Within 4.1 WPM)

= 1 - P( -4.1 ÷ 15÷ √3 <z < 4.1 ÷ 15÷ √3)

= 1 - P(-1.57 < z < 1.57)

= 1 - 0.8836

= 0.1164

Hence, the probability that the sample mean would differ is 0.1164

Therefore the same would be applied and relevant

Answers

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope form of equation of a line is expressed as;

[tex]y - y_{0} = m(x-x_0)[/tex]

m is the slope

(x₀, y₀) is the point on the line

Given

(x₀, y₀) = (1, 2)

Given the equation 3y = 2x - 4

Rewrite the equation

y = 2/3x - 4/3

mx = 2/3x

m = 2/3

The slope is 2/3

Substitute the slope and the point into the formula above

[tex]y -y_0 =m(x-x_0)\\y - 2 = 2/3(x - 1)\\3(y-2) = 2(x-1)\\3y - 6 = 2x - 2\\Swap\\2x - 2 = 3y - 6\\2x - 3y = -6 + 2\\2x - 3y = -4\\x - 3/2 y = -4/2\\x - 3/2 y= -2[/tex]

Compare the expression to x+(m+2)y=n−5

m + 2 = -3/2

m = -3/2 - 2

m = -7/2

Similarly

n - 5 = -2

n = -2 + 5

n = 3

m + n = -7/2 + 3

m + n = -1/2

hence the sum of m and n is -1/2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

in circle geometry, we have several theorems that govern angles formed by chords drawn in circles.

One of the theorems states that the angle subtended on the circumference of a circle by a chord which is drawn across the center of the circle (which is the diameter) equals 90 degrees. This means that it is a right-angle.

Analytically, we can also sketch out the problem and see that we can divide the shape formed by points BAC into an isosceles triangle. (The two radii forming the sides while the diameter forms the base).  We can also run a bisector of the isosceles triangle through point A to meet the diameter. We can see that it forms two 45 by 45 degree right-angled triangles. Thus proving that angle BAC is indeed a right angle.
