We are asked to solve for the width "x" in the given problem. To visualize the problem, see attached drawing.
We have the area of the swimming pool such as:
Area SP = l x w
Area SP = 10 * 16
Area SP = 160 feet2
Area of the swimming pool plus the sidewalk with uniform width:
Area SP + SW = (10 + x) * (16 + x)
160 + 155 = 160 + 10x + 16x + x2
160 -160 + 155 = 26x + x2
155 = 26 x + x2
x2 + 26x -155= 0
Solving for x, we need to use quadratic formula and the answer is 5 feet.
The value of x is

Answer:
Area = 32feet²
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangule = 2(length+width)
Then:
g = 2w Eq. 1
2(g+w) = 24 Eq. 2
g = length
w = width
From Eq. 2:
(2*g + 2*w) = 24
2g + 2w = 24
2w = 24 - 2g Eq. 3
Matching Eq. 1 and Eq. 3
g = 24 - 2g
g + 2g = 24
3g = 24
g = 24/3
g = 8 feet
From Eq. 1
g = 2w
8 = 2w
8/2 = w
w = 4 feet
Check:
From Eq. 2
2(g+w) = 24
2(8+4) = 24
2*12 = 24
Answer:
Area of a rexctangle = length * width
Then:
Area = 8feet * 4feet
Area = 32feet²
