If N is a positive integer, it must be either even or odd. If N is odd, then N-1 will be even. If N is even, then N-1 will be odd. Either way, when you multiply n and n-1, one of those expressions is going to be an even number, and any number multiplied by an even number is an even number. Hope this helps! :)

Lilit [14]

Answer:

  • perimeter: 46 ft
  • area: 126 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 3 ft edge is on both sides of the pool, each dimension of the pool is 6 ft shorter than the corresponding dimension of the space. The pool will be 15 ft -6 ft = 9 ft in one direction and 20 ft -6 ft = 14 ft in the other direction.

The perimeter of the pool is the sum of its side lengths:

  P = 9 ft + 14 ft + 9 ft + 14 ft = 2(9 ft +14 ft) = 2(23 ft)

  P = 46 ft

__

The area of the pool is the product of its length and width:

  A = (14 ft)(9 ft) = 126 ft²

The perimeter and area are 46 ft and 126 ft², respectively.
