check the picture below.
so, we know the dimensions of the pool, is a 20x10, so its area is simply 200 ft², and we know the walkway is 216 ft², so the whole thing, including pool and walkway is really 200 + 216 ft².
now, as you see in the picture, the dimensions for the combined area is 20+2x and 10+2x, since the walkway is "x" long, therefore,

notice, it cannot be -18, since is a positive length unit.
That's a pretty confusing one. I think it's 10 minutes.

The scale given (1 in : 1/2 ft) implies that 1 inch on the model is equal to 1/2 foot on the actual ship. Therefore, we can multiply the two inch values by 1/2 foot to find the true dimensions of the ship in feet. Starting with 28 inches:
28 × (1/2 ft) = 14 ft
28 inches is proportional to 14 feet. Now calculate 65 inches:
65 × (1/2 ft) = 32.5 ft
65 inches is proportional to 32.5 feet. Therefore, the answer to this problem is:
D) 14 ft. by 32 1/2 ft.
I hope this helps!
