Deck=456
area of pool=legnth times width=20 times 50=1000

the area of the deck is made up of 4 rectangles and 4 squares, the rectangles' areas come in pairs
areas are
area of deck= 2(20w)+4(w^2)+2(50w)d

456=2(20w)+4(w^2)+2(50w)

distribute

456=40w+4w^2+100w

add like terms

456=4w^2+140w

divide everybody by 4

114=w^2+35w

subtract 114 from both sides

0=w^2+35w-114

find what 2 numbers multiply to get 114 and add to get 35 and factor

-3 and 38

0=(w-3)(w+38)

set each to zero

w-3=0

w=3


w+38=0

w=-38

false since measures in real life cannot be negative

therfor width of walkway=3ft
