Answer:
Part a) The area of the swimming pool is 
Part b) The total area of the swimming pool and the playground is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a) Find the area of the swimming pool
we know that
The area of the swimming pool is

where
L is the length side
W is the width side
we have

substitute the values


therefore
The area of the swimming pool is 
Part b) The area of the playground is one and a half times that of the swimming pool. Find the total area of the swimming pool and the playground
we know that
To obtain the area of the playground multiply the area of the swimming pool by one and a half

To obtain the total area of the swimming pool and the playground, adds the area of the swimming pool and the area of the playground
so

therefore
The total area of the swimming pool and the playground is 
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
One bag of popcorn would cost $6.50
To solve this, we can set up equations:
28p+40c=$282
17p+20c=$160.50
To solve this system, we would need to make either the candy bars the same or the bags of popcorn the same. Since we are solving for bags of popcorn, we will make the candy bars the same:
20(28p+40c=$282)
40(17p+20c=$160.50)
Which would give you:
560p+800c=$5,640
680p+800c=$6,420
Subtract them:
(680p+800c=$6,420)
-(560p+800c=$5,640)
_________________
120p=$780
Now divide by 120 to get the price of one bag of popcorn:
120p=$780
_________
120
p=$6.50
