Answer:
length = 115 cm
width = 108 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 446 centimeters
LEt L be the length of the pool
The width of the pool is 7 centimeters less than the length of the pool.
width = length - 7
W= L-7
Given perimeter = 446
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length)+2(width)
446 = 2(L) + 2(W) we know W = L-7
446 = 2(L) + 2(L-7)
446 = 2L + 2L - 14
Add 14 on both sides
460 = 4L
divide by 4 on both sides
L= 115
Length L= 115
Width W = L - 7 = 115 - 7= 108
