Question

the length of a rectangle pools 15m greater than its width. what is the length if the perimeter of the pool is 96m

Answer 1

Answer:

31.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the pool.

Since the length is 15 m greater than the width, it can be represented by w + 15.

Use the perimeter formula, p = 2l + 2w. Plug in the perimeter, and w + 15 as l into the formula:

p = 2l + 2w

96 = 2(w + 15) + 2w

96 = 2w + 30 + 2w

96 = 4w + 30

66 = 4w

16.5 = w

So, the width of the pool is 16.5 m. Add 15 to this to find the length:

16.5 + 15

= 31.5

The length of the pool is 31.5 m

Answer 2

ANSWER :-

Let the width be w

Length = w + 15

Now

Perimeter = 2(l + w)

96 = 2(w + 15 + w)

96/2 = w + 15 + w

48 = 2w + 15

48 - 15 = 2w

33 = 2w

33/2 = w

16.5 = w

Then,

Length = w + 15

Length = 16.5 + 15

Length = 31.5 m
