Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer:

Given:-

Perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool = 154 m

( Let the breadth of the rectangle be x )

Length of the rectangle = 2x + 2

To Find:-

The length and the breadth of the pool.

Solution:-

As per the given information,

Perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool = 154 m

Breadth of the rectangle = x

Length of the rectangle = 2x + 2

Formula used: Perimeter = 2 ( Length + Breadth )

Applying the formula,

$\begin{gathered}\implies 2(2x+2+x)=154 \: m\\\implies 2(3x+2) = 154\\\implies 3x + 2 = \frac{154}{2} \\\implies 3x=77-2\end{gathered}$

Finding x,

$\begin{gathered}x=\frac{75}{3} \\\implies x=25 \: m\end{gathered}$

Finding breadth,

∴ Breadth = x = 25 m

$:\implies \boxed{25 \: m}$

Finding length,

Length = 2x + 2

$\begin{gathered}\implies (2 \times 25) + 2\\= 50 + 2\\:\implies \boxed{52 \: m}\end{gathered}$

Hence, length of the pool is 52 m and breadth is 25 m.

Answer 2

Answer:

The book is dead, long live the book.

Digital technology has certainly had a profound effect on the traditional book publishing and retailing industries, but has it also given the book a new lease of life?

At one point it looked as if the rise of e-books at knock-down prices and e-readers like Amazon's Kindle and Barnes & Noble's Nook posed an existential threat to book publishers and sellers.

"Literature found itself at war with the internet," as Jim Hinks, digital editor of Comma Press, succinctly puts it.

But contrary to expectations, the printed book is still surviving alongside its upstart e-book cousin, and technology is helping publishers and retailers reach new audiences and find new ways to tell stories.

Print fights back?

While there can be no denying that printed book sales have taken a massive hit with the rise of digital, there is some evidence that the rate of decline is slowing and that the excitement over e-readers is subsiding.

Kindle sales - peaking at 13.44 million in 2011 - fell back to 9.7 million in 2012 and have plateaued since. Barnes & Noble's Nook e-reader has been losing about $70m (£45m) a year and the US bookseller has been trying - and failing - to find a buyer for the division.
