The dimensions of the pool would give a quadratic equation x² + 28x - 770 = 0

<h3>How to determine the dimension</h3>

For the pool, we have that;

Let the width = x feet

Length = (x+8) feet

The pool alongside the walkway gives;

Width = x + 5 + 5 = (x + 10) feet

Length = x + 8 + 5 + 5 = (x + 18) feet

Total area of the pool with walkway = 950 square feet

Note that formula for area is given as

Area = length * width = 950

Equate the length and width

(x+18)  × (x + 10) = 950

Using the  FOIL method, we have;

(x × x )+ (x × 10) + (18 × x) + (18 × 10) = 950

x² + 10x + 18x + 180 -950 = 0  

collect like terms

x² + 28x - 770 = 0

Thus, the dimensions of the pool would give a quadratic equation x² + 28x - 770 = 0

Okay, so keeping mind that the equation for area is A = L x W, look at the measurements you already have. 5.5 x 10^5 is the length, and 4.2 x 10^4 is the width. Switch them into full form and use a calculator to multiply the two for the area in meters.

550000 x 42000 = 23100000000, which in scientific form is 2.31 × 10^10. So that's answer one.

For the second, in kilometers, just take the full measurement you already have, 23100000000 m, transfer it into kilometers, 23100000 km, and then find its scientific notation, 2.31 × 10^7. That's answer two.

To answer the last question for which is more suitable, just consider what number you'd prefer to look at: a bigger number or a smaller one. Since the kilometer measurement number is smaller, its correct.

Summarily, the answers are 2.31 × 10^10, 2.31 × 10^7, and square kilometers, in that order.
