Question

The perimeter of a rectangular pool is 312 m.

Answer 1

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by:

$\boxed{P=width +width+length+ length}$

Remember: In a rectangle, opposite sides are equals.

If we know how much is the width, then it's just apply it to the expression:

$P=width+width+length+length\\312 =68 + 68 + length + length\\312 = 136+(2\cdot length)\\312 - 136 = 2\cdot length\\2\cdot length = 176\\length = \frac{176}{2} \\length = 88$

Therefore, the length of the pool is 88m.
