math question quadratics

Answer: The length and width are 50 and 30 meters (or 30 and 50 meters).
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we can represent variables for the length and width in two equations.
[tex]2l + 2w = 160\\\\l * w= 1500[/tex]
To solve for one of the variables, you'll have to substitute one of the variables, so solve for one of them:
[tex]2l = 160 - 2w\\l = 80 - w[/tex]
[tex](80-w)*w=1500\\\\-w^2 + 80w - 1500 = 0\\\\w^2 - 80w + 1500 = 0[/tex]
Now, we have a standard quadratic equation that we can factor. When factoring, you'll get this:
[tex](w-50)(w-30) = 0[/tex]
This tells us that the width could be either 50 or 30.
Substitute 50 into one of the equations to find the length:
2 (l) + 100 = 160
l = 30.
The length and width are 50 and 30 meters (or 30 and 50 meters).
Answer:
(y1, y2)= (30,50)
(x1, x2)= (50,30)
If x is the length, it would be 50 m, y (width) would be 30 m
It depends on the way you determine x and y
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the pool:
(x+y)*2= 160
So the total length and width of the pool is:
x+y = 80 (1)
The area of the pool:
xy= 1500 (2)
(1), (2) =) x+y=80
xy= 1500
=) y= 80-x
x (80-x) =1500
=) y= 80-x
80x -x² = 1500
=) y= 80 -x
x² - 80x +1500=0
=) y1= 80- 50 y2= 80-30
(x1, x2)= (50,30)
=) (y1, y2)= (30,50)
(x1, x2)= (50,30)
