Answer:
1) A rectangular shape
2) Point (30, 50)
3) (x - 30)² + (y - 50)² = 10²
4) Yes, the swimming pool will touch the flower beds
5) Point (45, 25)
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Given the number of shapes that are rectangles (4) and the number of circular shapes (1) to conserve more space Kylee should drw the swimming pool with a rectangular shape
2) So as to avoid touching the flowerbeds which are 20 feet apart, the center of the swimming pool will be moved slightly up to (30, 50)
3) The equation that will draw the swimming pool is the equation of a circle, given as follows
(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
Where (h, k) is the coordinate of the center of the circle, and r is the radius of the circle,
Given that the diameter, D, of the circle = 20 feet, the radius, r = D/2 = 20/2 = 10 feet
The equation of the circle is therefore;
(x - 30)² + (y - 50)² = 10²
4) The coordinates of the center of the flower bed is (30, 45) which gives
(x - 30)² + (y - 45)² = 10²
Where the coordinates of the side of the flower pot is (20, 45), we have;
(20 - 30)² + (45 - 45)² = 10²
(-10)² = 10² = r²
Hence, point (20, 45) is on the circle
The other flower bed side has coordinates (40, 45) which gives
(40 - 30)² + (45 - 45)² = 10²
10² = r² = 10²
Point (40, 45) is also on the circle
Therefore, the swimming pool will touch the flower beds
5) At point (45, 25), we have;
(x - 45)² + (y - 25)² = 10²
The closest point is the patio with coordinates (40, 15) which gives;
(40 - 45)² + (15 - 25)² = 10² = 100
(-5)² + (-10)² = 125 > 100
Therefore, point (40, 15), is not on the circle.
