Alex is planning to surround his pool ABCD with a single line of tiles. How many units of tile will he need to surround his pool? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

18.97 units  

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the pool looks like the diagram below.

The pool consists of two equal right triangles.

We know that AB = CD = 3.16.

1. Find the length of the pool

AD = BC,  and we can use Pythagoras' Theorem to calculate AD.

  AB² + AD² = BD²

 3.16² + AD² = 7.07²

9.986 + AD² = 48.98

             AD² = 48.98 - 9.986 = 40.00

             AD   = 6.324

2. Find the perimeter of the pool

P = AB + BC + CD + DA =3.16 + 6.324 + 3.16 + 6.324 = 18.97

Alex will need 18.97 units of tile to surround the pool.

93.8

step-by-step explanation:

lets say, first number = x

second number = 3x+7

total = 49

(x)+(3x+7)= 49

4x+7 = 49

4x = 42

x = 42/4

x= 10.5

x= 10.5

3x+7 = 3(10.5)+7 = 93.8

hope this
