A swimming pool is to be constructed in a 1,408-ft2 backyard. There is to be a fence that will surround a 12-by-24-foot pool. The pool builder wants to build a concrete paver deck of a uniform width, x, surrounding the pool and filling the entire area of the backyard. What is the width of the pool deck?

Answers

Answer 1

The width of the pool is 10 feet.

What is area of rectangle?

The area of rectangle is product of length and breadth.

Let the width be x.

length = 24 + 2x. and breadth =  12 + 2x

We know, area= 1408 ft².

(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

So, x=10, -28.

Hence, the width be 10 feet.

A small country is comprised of five​ states, A,​ B, C,​ D, and E. The population of each state is given in the following table. Congress will have 57 seats divided among the five states according to their respective populations. Use​ Jefferson's method with d=32,920 to apportion 57 seats

Answers

Based on Jefferson's method and the value of d, the apportionment of the 57 seats will be:

A - 4 seats.B - 5 seats.  C - 10 seats.D - 16 seats.E - 22 seats.How will the seats be allocated?

This is done by dividing the population of the state by the d value and then rounding this off:

State A:

= 138,352 / 32,920

= 4.2

= 4

State B:

= 181,282 / 32,920

= 5.5

State C:

= 337,026 / 32,920

The area of a trapezium with base 8 top 6 height 4 is 28 cm².

Given that, base of trapezium (b)=8 cm, top of trapezium (a)=6 cm and height of trapezium = 4 cm.

What is the area of a trapezium?

The trapezium is a quadrilateral with pair of sides parallel. The area of a trapezium is the area enclosed within its four sides.

We know that area of a trapezium [tex]=\frac{1}{2}(a+b) \times h[/tex]

Where a and b are parallel sides of a trapezium.

The answer is 27 cubic meters. Why? Well, the formula for the volume of a rectangular box is length times width times height (or base times height because length and width make up what is known as the base). Provided these measurements, all we need to do in this equation is multiply the length, width, and height to get our volume.

1.8 x 1.2 = 2.16

2.16 x 12.5 = 27

Because we just multiplied all three numbers by each other, we have identified our missing volume. The volume of the rectangular box is 27 cubic meters.

A decision at the margin Crystal is a hard-working college senior. One Thursday, she decides to work nonstop until she has answered 100 practice problems for her math course. She starts work at 8:00 AM and uses a table to keep track of her progress throughout the day. She notices that as she gets tired, it takes her longer to solve each problem. Time Total Problems Answered 8:00 AM 0 9:00 AM 40 10:00 AM 70 11:00 AM 90 Noon 100 Use the table to answer the following questions. The marginal, or additional, gain from Crystal’s first hour of work, from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, is problems. The marginal gain from Crystal’s third hour of work, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, is problems. Later, the teaching assistant in Crystal’s math course gives her some advice. “Based on past experience,” the teaching assistant says, “working on 35 problems raises a student’s exam score by about the same amount as reading the textbook for 1 hour.” For simplicity, assume students always cover the same number of pages during each hour they spend reading. Given this information, in order to use her 4 hours of study time to get the best exam score possible, how many hours should she have spent working on problems, and how many should she have spent reading? 0 hours working on problems, 4 hours reading 1 hour working on problems, 3 hours reading 3 hours working on problems, 1 hour reading 4 hours working on problems, 0 hours reading

Answers

She should spend 1 hour working on problems , 3 hour reading , Option B is the right answer.

What is Margin gain ?

The gain of the desired effect with respect to the previous gain is called margin gain

The marginal gain from 8:00 am to 9:00 am is

(40-0) = 40 problems

The marginal gain from 9:00 am to 10:00 am is

= 70-40 = 30 problems

The marginal gain from 10:00 am to 11:00 am is

(90-70) = 20 problems

As if she does more than one hour of problem solving her productivity decreases to 30 which is less than 1 hour of reading textbook

Therefore she should not spend more than 1 hour on problem solving.

Therefore Option B is the right answer.

The equation for free fall at the surface of some planet (s in meters, t in seconds) is s=2.86t^2. How long does it take a rock falling from rest to reach a velocity of 25.1 m/s on this planet?

Answers

The time taken by the rock will be 8.77 seconds.

What is speed?

Speed is defined as the ratio of the time distance traveled by the body to the time taken by the body to cover the distance.

Given that:-

The equation for free fall at the surface of some planet (s in meters, t in seconds) is s = 2.86t²

The time will be calculated by using the speed formula.

Speed = Distance \ Time

25.1   = 2.86t² \ t

t   =  25.1 / 2.86

t   =  8.77 seconds

Answers

The number of picture books does Annette have is 76 books.

Given the ratio of picture books , encyclopedias and fairy tales books is 3:4:5 and she have half of her encyclopedias to her brother and  he gave her 5 books of fairytales

We need to find the number of picture books does she have

According to the statement the total number of books does Annette have is

3k+4k+5k = 12k

Where k is total number of books

Now , Picture book she have = 3/12k = 1/4k

Encyclopedia she have = 4/12k = 1/3k

Fairy tale she have = 5/12k

Here,

Encyclopedia +14 = Fairy tale

Substituting the values of Encyclopedia and Fairy tale

(1/3 -1/2)k +14 = (5/12k -5 )

Therefore.

(1/6k+14) = (5k/12-5)

Therefore,

14+5 = 5k/12 - k/6

Therefore,

19 = 3k/12

19*4=k

76 = k

Here k = 76 books

Hence the total number of picture books does she have is 76

roger contracts childrens playhouses all the top of each house he places an isosceles triangle to from the roof the largest angle measures 146 what are the measurement of the other two angles

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

there are clearly some typos in the question.

so, to summarize what I understood :

the roof of each playhouse is an isoceles triangle, with the largest angle being 146°.

we need to find the other 2 angles.

"isoceles" means that both legs are equally long.

that means automatically that both side angles (bottom left and bottom right) are equally large too.

and now, this please burn into your brain forever :

the sum of all angles in a triangle (no matter what type) is always 180°.

so, if we call a side angle x, we have here

180 = 146 + x + x = 146 + 2x

34 = 2x

x = 17°

so, both missing angles are 17°.
