Answer:
82 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the value of x by making use of the fact that corresponding angles have equal measures.
∠K = ∠N
20x -10 = 15x +15
5x = 25 . . . . . . . . . . add 10-15x
x = 5 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
Then the side lengths are ...
JK = (4x -4) ft = (4·5 -4) ft = 16 ft
KL = (5x +1) ft = (5·5 +1) ft = 26 ft
And the perimeter is the sum of side lengths:
16 ft + 26 ft + 40 ft = 82 ft
The perimeter of each pool is 82 feet.
