Answer:
x+3 > 21
the is a line under the greater than symbol
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
To solve this, lets put it into a system of equations where w=width and L=length.
2w+2L=80
L-8=w
To solve, we see that w=L-8. We can substitute this in the first equation to find L and then w.
2(L-8)+2L=80
2L-16+2L=80
4L-16+80
4L-16=80
4L=96
L=24
Now that we know L=24, we can find w. 24-8=16. Now we know that L=24 and w=16.
Lets check our answer. In our original system of equations, we have 48+32=80, which is true, and 24-8=16. Also, the perimeter must equal 80. 16+16+24+24=80.
As our final answer, the width of the pool is 16 feet, and the length is 24 feet.
Hope this helps!
All you need to do to find the perimeter of an irregular shape is to know all the measurements of the shape and add them all together.
