We are asked to solve for the width "x" in the given problem. To visualize the problem, see attached drawing.
We have the area of the swimming pool such as:
Area SP = l x w
Area SP = 10 * 16
Area SP = 160 feet2
Area of the swimming pool plus the sidewalk with uniform width:
Area SP + SW = (10 + x) * (16 + x)
160 + 155 = 160 + 10x + 16x + x2
160 -160 + 155 = 26x + x2
155 = 26 x + x2
x2 + 26x -155= 0
Solving for x, we need to use quadratic formula and the answer is 5 feet.
The value of x is <span>5 feet. </span>

Answer:
132 mm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The line added to the figure in the attachment shows it can be divided into two figures whose area is easily calculated.
1. A parallelogram of base length 20 mm and height 4 mm:
A = bh = (20 mm)(4 mm) = 80 mm^2
2. A trapezoid with bases 32 mm and 20 mm, and height 2 mm:
A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h = (1/2)(32 mm +20 mm)(2 mm) = 52 mm^2
The total area of the figure is then ...
80 mm^2 +52 mm^2 = 132 mm^2
