Problema Solution
A rectangular swimming pool has a perimeter of 96 ft. The area of the pool is 504 ft2. Which system of equations models this situation correctly?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'l' represent the length and let 'w' represent the width.
The perimeter is 2l+2w.
The area is l*w.
2l+2w=96
l*w=504
click here to solve for 'l' and 'w'
l=32.4853
w=15.5147
So the length would be approximately 32.5 feet and the width would be approximately 15.5 feet.
