Since the area of the walkway is not given, it's substitution in the answer is x. You do have the measurements of the pool though. Area=length times width. 36 times 18 is 648. The area of the concrete is x-648 ft, because the pool is not apart of the concrete. The area of the walkway can be expressed by X-648 ft.
Part A:
The total area = x² + 12x + 20 = (x+2)(x+10)
<span>The width = x+2
∴ Length = area / width = </span>[ <span>(x+2)(x+10) ] / (x+2) = x+10
Part B: </span>
<span>A 2-foot walkway is built around the fountain
</span>
<span>∴ The width = (x+2) + 2 + 2 = x + 6
The length = (x+10) + 2 + 2 = x +14
Part C:
</span><span>the total area covered by the fountain and walkway.
</span><span>
= (x+6)(x+14)
= x² + 20 x + 84

Answer:
$216 or $162 (see below)
Step-by-step explanation:
If it's 18% for 9 months (and not per year)
then
1200x0.18=$216
If it's 18% per year then
1200x0.18x0.75=$162
