Let
denote the length of the pond and <span> signify its width. It's recognized that the pond's volume equals the area of its base multiplied by its depth. In this case, the base area can be computed as volume divided by depth, equating to 72000 in³ divided by 24 in, resulting in an area of 3000 in². Given that the area is expressed as x multiplied by y, we come to equation 1, 3000 = x * y. If we have x = 2y, we substitute this into equation 1, leading to 3000 = (2y) * y, simplifying to 2y² = 3000 and consequently y² = 1500, giving y = 38.7 in. Thus, x = 2y yields x = 2 * 38.7 = 77.4 in. The conclusion is that the pond's length is 77.4 in while its width is 38.7 in.

14 minutes. Step-by-step explanation: First, find the perimeter which can be calculated as P=100+80+100+80 = 360 meters, and then multiply it by 6 for the total distance = 2160 meters. To convert meters to kilometers, note that 1000 m = 1 km, so you would find how many kilometers are in 2160 m by cross-multiplying to get 2.16 km. Lastly, you need to calculate the time required represented by T = D/S = 2.16 km / 9 km/h, which simplifies down and gives you the time.
