The figure shows a square floor plan with a smaller square area that will accommodate a combination fountain and pool.The floor
with the fountain pool area removed has an area of 33 Square meters and a perimeter of 36 meters. Find the dimensions of the floor and the dimensions of the square that will accommodate the fountain and pool.
1 answer:
Answer:
(x, y) = (7, 4) meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the floor without the removal is x^2, so with the smaller square removed, it is x^2 -y^2.
The perimeter of the floor is the sum of all side lengths, so is 4x +2y.
The given dimensions tell us ...
x^2 -y^2 = 33
4x +2y = 36
From the latter equation, we can write an expression for y:
y = 18 -2x
Substituting this into the first equation gives ...
x^2 -(18 -2x)^2 = 33
x^2 -(324 -72x +4x^2) = 33
3x^2 -72x + 357 = 0 . . . . write in standard form
3(x -7)(x -17) = 0 . . . . . factor
Solutions to this equation are x=7 and x=17. However, for y > 0, we must have x < 9.
y = 18 -2(7) = 4
The floor dimension x is 7 meters; the inset dimension y is 4 meters.

Answer:
y=4.8710 is the missing value
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step in approaching this question is determining the exponential equation that models the set of data. This can easily be done in Ms.Excel application. We first enter the data into any two adjacent columns of an excel workbook. The next step is to highlight the data, click on the insert tab and select the x,y scatter-plot feature. This creates a scatter-plot for the data.
The next step is to click the Add chart element feature and insert an exponential trend line to the scatter plot ensuring the display equation on chart is checked.
The exponential regression equation for the data set is given as;
To find the missing y value, we simply substitute x with 2 in the regression equation obtained;
