1. Let's call:
 
 x: the width of the walkway.
 b: 2x+16 (there is a widht "x" of the walkway on each side).
 h: 2x+32  (there is a widht "x" of the walkway on each side).
 A: 924 ft^2 ( the area of the pool of including the walkway).
 
 2. The area of a rectangle is:  
 
 A=(b)(h)
 
 b: the base of the rectangle (2x+16)
 a: the height of the rectangle (2x+32)

 3. Then, we have a quadratic equation:
 
 924=(2x+16)(2x+32)
 4x^2+64x+32x+512-924=0
 4x^2+96x-412=0
 
 4. We apply the quadratic formula to find the value of "x":
 
 x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a
 
 x=3.71
 
 The answer is: The width of the walkway is 3.71 ft

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!! GIVE EXPLANATION + ANSWER FOR BRAINLIEST
Monica [59]

The correct answer is:

D. ∠FGE≅∠NMP

Explanation:

The symmetric property states that if two quantities are equal (or congruent), you can "flip" them around the equals sign (or congruence sign).  

This means since EFG is congruent to HJK, then HJK is congruent to EFG.
