Question

A rectangular pool has dimensions of 40ft and 60 ft. The pool has a patio

Answer 1

Could you finish the problem and tell us what the problem is

Answer 2

Answer:

Let

x-------> the width of the patio

we understand that

region of the pool=40*60-----> 2400 ft²

vicinity of the patio=[(40+2x)*(60+2x)]-2400

place of the patio=2400 ft²

so

[(40+2x)*(60+2x)]-2400=2400

2400+80x+120x+4x²-4800=0

4x²+200x-2400=0------> divide by 4 both sides----> x²+50x-600=0

therefore

the answer is

x²+50x-600=0
