Answer:
Width of border = 1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Area = 99 ft²
(8 ft + 1 ft) x (10 ft + 1 ft) =
9 x 11 =
99 ft²
5 can not go into 4 because it is going to be 0
Given that the total area of the walkway and the pool is w²+17w+66, and the width w, will be found as follows:
A=length×width
A=w²+17w+66
to get the new width we need to factorize the above quadratic form
A=w²+17w+66
=w²+11w+6w+66
=w(w+11)+6(w+11)
=(w+11)(w+6)
From the answer, the width=6 units, length=11 units
